[cgiapp] Newbie config question, mySQL, Sessions (again)


There was a thread about config files, but it didn't seem to answer the question I have. I'll give specifics of what I'm trying to accomplish to make my question easier. Background- I am new to CGI:App, have been programming Perl for about 3 years but as your typical sloppy/half-a**ed coder. Anyway, Im building a shopping cart for a few web stores an am going to be using CGI::App. What is the best way to go about DB connections? IE, the mySQL un/pw, host, etc. Should I store these in each Instance Script and pass in to setup via PARAM =>? (I want to only have to change the instance script for each Cart installation). Is a config.txt (or something to that effect the best way to go? Or maybe including a config.pl, like Mr. Stosberg's cascade?

Any advice here is greatly appreciated. On an off topic note, I could also use advice on Sessions and such.

Thanks,

Scott
