I usually use a config file for this
now you could do this 3 ways as i see it
- just have a file that holds a lot of global vars and 'require/use' that
in your mian script
- get one hashref that you globalise and thus reduce namespace pollution
- make it a module, give it a constructor returning a hashref and thus
not polluting *anything*
i usually use #2 for what it's worth
