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;
