I would like to know the best approach to store and retrieve Applicaiton configurations that is accessible to all packages in my mod_perl application. My application configuration includes - Database details, Template mapping, LDAP configuration details etc. I would like my to load all these configuratoins when my application starts and then on, i should be able to access these configuration from anywhere. For Example: my $dbDetails = ConfigUtil->getDBDetails(); //returns reference to hash my dbUser = dbDetails->user; I belive PerlSetVar only allows strings variables. I would like to get some suggestions on how configuration management in mod_perl applications. Thanks, Jerry
