There are plenty of config-file modules on CPAN. Search for "config" at http://search.cpan.org/. >%mar_omc_and_mms = ( > 'clt' => { 'omc2' => [qw(mm3 mm4)] }, > 'clt1x' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm101 mm102)], > 'omc3' => [qw(mm5 mm6 mm7)] }, > 'gvl' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm1 mm2)], > 'omc2' => [qw(mm3 mm4)] }, > 'col' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm1 mm2)] }, > 'rdu' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm1 mm2)] }, > 'gso' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm1 mm2)] }, > 'chs' => { 'omc1' => [qw(mm1 mm2)] } >) You can create config files in any format you want. It just comes down to what's easiest for the END-USER to modify. Here's one: clt.omc2 = mm3 mm4 clt1x.omc1 = mm101 mm102 clt1x.omc3 = mm5 mm6 mm7 [etc] Here's another (a lispish fiend): (clt (omc2 mm3 mm4) ) (clt1x (omc1 mm101 mm102) (omc3 mm5 mm6 mm7) ) [etc] Here's yet another: %clt omc2 = mm3 mm4 %clt1x omc1 = mm101 mm102 omc3 = mm5 mm6 mm7 [etc] Just pick one you like, and come up with a parsing algorithm. The first and last ones are the easiest to parse in my opinion. The second one adds a layer of difficulty. -- Jeff "japhy" Pinyan [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.pobox.com/~japhy/ RPI Acacia brother #734 http://www.perlmonks.org/ http://www.cpan.org/ ** Look for "Regular Expressions in Perl" published by Manning, in 2002 ** <stu> what does y/// stand for? <tenderpuss> why, yansliterate of course.
