Cees,

Do you mean you would provide the name of the config file twice to 
provide a fall back for calls from cgi_init? As in:

# In my instance script
my $app = WebApp->new(PARAMS => { cfg_file => 'config.pl' });
$app->cfg_file('config.pl');
$app->run();

OR that the plugin would call cfg_file from within the application 
module's cgi_init using the parameter passed via new?  Or something 
else entirely? :-)

Best,
Sergej
