In this case, you would define different contact groups with youryaml/perl[WHATEVER OTHER SCRIPTING LANGUAGE] and then dynamically generate thecorresponding abook datafiles.
That would be a very elegant and flexible approach. I am, however, reluctant to write and maintain my own backend like that, for 1) if something breaks, I am on my own then, and 2) I am not very proficient in programming, so coding even something as simple as this is not just a quick side-project for me. (I didn't even get around yet to implement the even simpler solution I proposed a few mails before.)
I did exactly this many years ago and never had to touch my rc files again.However, somehow I lost track of this.
If you still have your scripts from back then, I would be very interested in having a look at them!
