I don't mean to be negative, but there are a *LOT* of config-related modules on CPAN right now and IMHO, the differences you've shown don't seem to warrant another yet another config module. Have you contacted the author of Config::Properties to see if he'd be interested in merging your changes into it?

There are a lot of alpha modules on CPAN, but instead of adding another alpha module I'd encourage you to work towards bringing an existing one to beta or release status. We'll all benefit much better from having a few modules worked on by several developers each, rather than a multitude of single-developer modules with overlapping functionality. Have you looked at Config::General? It looks mature, full-featured, simple to use, and basically meets all your requirements. --Ade. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
