John,

I think the optimal answer here depends on what kind of user you are
targeting to configure the application.

I use a simple ".pm" module that contains regular Perl with comments.
This works great for me. Usually I'm just defining "key = value"
relations in a %CFG hash. However, in a few cases where I want to do
something more complicated, I have the full power of Perl to use, and I
know the syntax already. :)

Sometimes I dream of having a web-based configuration tool for
applications, which could necessitate having some other config file
format, or perhaps storing everything in a database (except the databse
connection options...).
