I still think XML is perfectly reasonable and universal for a config-file format, easily recognized and edited by most people (even if its a bit verbose), and can serialize everything we need. The issue with most XML configuration formats is that they lack a DTD, and so the rules are ambiguous at best. It wouldn't be that hard to write an XML serializer module that actually uses a published DTD for perl data structures, and always validates against the DTD when reading (and spits useful parser error messages if anything looks fishy). Could even add a script that checks config syntax validity. -- Brandon _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.rawmode.org/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
