It depends on how the config file is set up. Asuming that your config file is a simple name= value per line file, it is very simple: my $options = {}; open IN, $option_file_name or die "Could not open ini file: $!"; while (defined my $line = IN) { next unless $line; my ($key, $value) = split /\s*=\s*/, $line; $options->{$key} - $value; } close IN; Joseph -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
