Pure Perl Configuration File

A safe way of loading configuration settings stored as a Perl hash:

	{
	database => 'donut',
	user => 'homer',
	password => 'simpson',
	quote => {
	give => 'me',
	the => 'number',
	for => 911,
	},
	}

	use Safe;
	my $config = Safe->new->rdo( 'app.conf' );
	die "Couldn't parse config file: $@" if $@;
	die 'Invalid config file' if ! defined $config || ref $config ne 'HASH';
	print Dumper $config;
