Config::Find looks like it is designed for exactly what you're looking for - have you seen that? I was also going to recommend Config::Auto (which even parses the config, supporting various formats), but it seems to be Unix-centric, and likely not useful on Windows. It wasn't entirely clear to me whether you're looking for suggestions on how to *find* the config file in a sensible location, or how to install a default config file into a suitable location as the module is installed, though - have I got the wrong end of the stick here? -- David Precious ("bigpresh") http://www.preshweb.co.uk/ "Programming is like sex.
