Michael, thanks for the input. Python has built in INI parsing (ConfigParser), and I found a few things on CPAN for INI, which is important; I'd like good language coverage. However, from Wikipedia: "INI files are typically limited to two levels (sections and parameters) ...". I want something expressive enough to store hashes/arrays. It would appear that INI files are out. -- Stephen M.
