It came down to three. In order of frequency: * Config::Std[1] I originally started using this one after Damian presented it, and I really liked the data structure it returned. However, due to its overhead and the fact that I rarely need round-trippable config files, I'm slowly discontinuing its use. * Config::General[2] This is my current favorite, due to its flexibility. * Config::IniFiles[3] This is starting to show up in scripts that use an INI-style configuration format that doesn't require the flexibility of Config::General. Once upon a time, we also use App::Config, which had some nice features like file inclusion. But Config::General has replaced that functionality for us. I've also written a module called LSF::ConfigParser (unreleased), which is designed as a generic parser for all LSF configuration files. Other modules can then use it to build up a data structure from any file. I should probably make it sub-classable and use polymorphism to extend it, but that's a project for another day. We're also looking at using it for our own LSF-related configuration files, for a consistent format.

Granted, many support vanilla CGI, but mod_perl is a bit more rare. I ran across the article, "Three Perl cloud hosting platforms." http://showmetheco.de/articles/2011/8/three-perl-cloud-hosting-platforms.html This looks exciting. Currently, I'm developing a web application using CGI::Application running on Linode, because I have complete control over the runtime environment. I'm currently invoking the framework as a CGI script, but plan to see if mod_perl is necessary down the line. The above article has a CGI::Application example, so I think it's time I investigated offloading my web application to the "cloud." At the very least, I should pull this into the CGI::Application presentation I'm planning for next month.
