Well, it's not C so you wouldn't expect to be able to use C
syntax. But the config.pl is an executable perl file so you can use
standard perl techniques to read in the contents of a variable in
another file (for example using the 'do' construction) and then use
standard perl hash & array constructions to merge the values from the
file you read in with the values you specify in the config file. Just
check out some of the perl tutorials online -- if you are messing with
perl code, I highly recommend you learn a little perl.
