assuming you are alright with storing them in a hash as key value pairs,
something like this will probably work for you:
open I, "$ARGV[0]" or die $!;
my %conf;
while(<I>){
chomp;
next unless $_;
my ($key,$val) = split /\s*=\s*/;
$conf{$key} = $val;
}
for (keys %conf) { print "$_ = $conf{$_}\n" }
or this, whatever you prefer:
open I, "$ARGV[0]" or die $!;
my %conf;
{ local $/; %conf = map{ chomp; $_ ? split /\s*=\s*/ :
undef }split/\n/,<I> }
for (keys %conf) { print "$_ = $conf{$_}\n" }

both untested for speed, but if it's a small file it really shouldnt matter
hope this helps
