Config::Std uses the .INI format and will preserve your comments in
addition to your previously defined entries. I've found it to be a
very easy to use module.
I started trying out Config::Std which indeed is easy to use but
didn't
get previously defined vars to work.
I tried this but to no avail.
[Dirs]
basedir : /data/
aroot : ${basedir}/root
broot : $basedir/root
The config file is static and does not interpret itself.
To do what I think you're after would require:
The ini file:
[Dirs]
basedir : /data/
The Perl program bit to use it:
read_config 'name_of_config.ini' => my %config;
$aroot = $config{Dirs}{basedir} . "root";
