For the benefit of those who haven't seen it, Config::Properties exists to implement the semantics of Java's java.lang.Properties class in Perl. For instance, I use it for an application which is written partly in Java and partly in Perl. It's kind of unfortunate that the name isn't Config::JavaProperties or something more descriptive, but in any case I doubt the author would (or should) accept changes which would take away from its Java compatibility. As noted, there are similar modules without this mandate. Also, I've tried to contact the author in the last month or too without success. I haven't given up yet, but please tell me if you find him. The published hotmail address hasn't been responding (but that may say more about hotmail than about him). -David Boyce
