The way I made this work is to create a config module, which contains
something similar to this:
# global config file (filename is /mystuff/perl/MyConfig.pm)
package MyConfig;
use strict;
use vars qw($var1 $var2 $var3);
$var1 = "data1";
$var2 = 123124;
$var3 = "more data";
1;
This can then be used from any other script, as follows:
use lib '/mystuff/perl';
use MyConfig;
$localVar1 = "$MyConfig::var1";
etc.. Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Miah

Like Frank I've used PerlSetVar, adding mod_macro to configure
multiple sites which have similar features (holiday travel business).
