Config::FreeForm
I<Config::FreeForm> provides in-memory configuration data in a free-form manner. Many existing configuration modules attempt to provide some structure to your configuration data; in doing so, they force you to use their own configuration paradigm (association of keywords with values, etc.). Often this isn't what you need in a complex application--you need complete control over your configuration data, and you need the ability to structure it however you like. This is what I<Config::FreeForm> gives you.
In I<Config::FreeForm> configuration data is stored as a Perl data structure. The logic behind this is that you know Perl--you shouldn't need to learn another little language to set up your configuration data, however simple that language may be.
