Cory, 

If this is a database application, I would probably store this stuff in
the database. These means:

* Later you could easily make a web interface to the data if you wanted

* You easily cross reference the group preferences with other parts of
the data: 
"show me all the groups who like the color blue and bought three
juggling balls last year" 

* You can use the same framework as the rest of your application
(Perl/DBI) 

Of course, if one of the group configs is a different database handle,
you may need a slightly different solution. 

All your other ideas below seemed workable-- I would personally tend
towards the above solution.
