CPAN is full of various modules and frameworks for managing configuration
files: AppConfig, Config::IniFiles, Config::YAML, Config::Std, and so on.
Which ones do people here actually use the most? Which ones seem most
appropriate for which purposes (I doubt there's a "one size fits all")?
What do you think the strengths and weaknesses of the various modules are?
Don't worry, I'm *not* planning on writing Yet Another Configuration
System. I'm just not as familiar with the intimate details of working with
any configuration system as I should be, and I'd prefer to spend my time
studying the ones that I'm actually likely to encounter in existing code or
want to use in new code.
