There are a few ways to do it.
Easiest is to have the config file be valid perl, and call it
like:
require "/path/to/config.pl";
There are plenty of modules on CPAN to read config files; my
favorite is Config::General, which allows for (among other
things) Apache-style config files. Config::Ini is also supposed
to be good, and there is also the AppConfig package.
