What you may not realise, Dennis, is that your question was specifically about the software package that you have. It was not to do with Perl, except insofar as the package is written in Perl and the answer could be found by examining the source code of the package. There is no standard 'cfg' file format for Perl applications, and the segment of this file which you showed was probably more informative to you than to any of us. Unless somebody on the list had by chance had experience with the same software and knows an answer to your question, there was no way that we could have given a better answer than Randal's post. (And by the way, you won't get many more 'seasoned' people than him!) Our only other option would be to ask you to post the entire source of the program and then pore over it to find the handling of the cfg file: I'm sure you can see that we would be reluctant to take this on, especially as the software's author would probably be more than ready to help, and may even have anticipated your requirement in an updated version. I hope this is clearer. Most of us take pride in the accuracy and completeness of our replies, and would not wish to disappoint you.
