Hi Louis,
I suggest you try this approach :
Create a file called global_config and store all your variables in a
PERL hash (you may use any datastructure, but hash works nicely )
Your global config will look like this:
<%perl>
my %data = ();
$data{site}{header_color} = '#123456';
$data{site}{bg_color} = '#214365';
...... and so on
return %data;
<%/perl>
Next, put these lines in your _autohandler:
<%args>
%config = $m->comp('/global_config');
</%args>
% $m->call_next('config' => \%config); # pass the parameter to other files.
Now you can get access to these variables from any file like this:
<%args>
%config => ''
<%/args>
$config{site}{bg_color}
Hope this helps
