From: "Chas. Owens" <chas.ow...@gmail.com>
I want to get some of these values (remoteProxy, the port and the IP
address
and some things more) from a configuration file. What is a good way to do
this? What is a good format for this file? Human readable and easy to
parse?
snip
I like YAML*, it is human readable, cross language, and can handle
almost any data structure you need to store. I use YAML::Syck** in
Perl to read it.
Like the Captchas that offer just images, YAML is "human" readable just for
the humans that can see. It is very hard to read by the blind though.
It is also hard to use it in POD documentations because the POD indents the
text and in some cases in HTML pages also.
Config::Any module allows using more configuration formats, including the
pretty well known Apache style configuration (which is offered by
Config::General module).
