There is MooseX::SimpleConfig that is used by Catalyst itself and fits here very well. With some Moose coercions this is enough to build any Moose object and it let's you use any config file format that is supported by Config::Any. If only the underlying MooseX::ConfigFromFile was more actively maintained. -- Zbigniew Lukasiak http://brudnopis.blogspot.com/ http://perlalchemy.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ List: [email protected] Listinfo: http://lists.scsys.co.uk/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/catalyst Searchable archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Dev site: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/
