There is code available from my wizard at http://www.rtbaileyphd.com/perlwizard that is doing something fairly similar to what you described. Use PerlWizard to generate a simple test program, run it once, and then examine the contents of the pwiz subirectory, which is where the config files go. These are used in conjunction with Getopt::Long as well.
