1/22    In perl, how do I read a set of vars from a .*rc file?  In bash,
        I'd just say ". $HOME/.foorc" and all the varname=value pairs come
        into scope.  What's the perl equivalent?
        \_ perldoc -f require
           perldoc -f use
           \_ Both of these require the use of perl's package syntax in
              the .rc file.  I'm looking for something simpler.
              \_ They don't -- just write your rc file with lines like
                 $variable = "value";
        \_ require 'filename.pl';
           ... use the variables you set in that file...
           The only trick is that filename.pl has to end with a positive
           value... just make the last line of the file:
           1;           ##dbushong
                1;
                \_ Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner!
