Yes, I stated that in the attached README file. There was no response. Besides, this really would need to be separate from the Config::Inifiles module, although it could be part of a "Bundle". > Also, aren't the security features kind of a red herring?

If the ::IniFiles write functionality doesn't exist, you can't use it, and you'd have to create your own. This would make it more difficult to accomplish the same task. This is somewhat more important in CGI scripts, where content-length limiting might not catch a three-line hack but would catch a thirty-line hack. Grant M.
