If I understand you correctly you want to be able to have a few conf files
and load one of them depending on environment. Here is how I do that (well
sort of) :
/tmp/dev.pl
------
package My::Config;
$env = 'dev';
1;
/tmp/prod.pl
------
package My::Config;
$env = 'prod';
1;
startup.pl:
-----------
require "/tmp/env.pl";
now if I'm in the prod env I do:
% ln -sf /tmp/prod.pl /tmp/env.pl
now if I'm in the pdev env I do:
% ln -sf /tmp/dev.pl /tmp/env.pl
C'est tout!
Of course replace /tmp with something else. I've used it as an example.
