Oops.
If you upgrade to ConfigReader::Simple, which automatically does continuation lines, your configuration values may come out funny if you have windows paths since a trailing directory separator looks like the start of a continuation.
base_dir \
base_dir "\"
I hate that! What an idiot I feel for not spotting it...
Even worse I use to use Windows! but as \
doesn't usually work as a base dir, you need something more specific such as c:\
, you can almost never use \
. Normally I let Perl do it's magic, and use proper Unix/
notation, e.g. c:/
, and Perl would know what to do at the file system level.
Well, at least I said it passes the tests, but could break in use, I just wish I'd come up with better tests, then this would have been spotted earlier...

No problem.
We will just make it an option instead of a mandatory feature.
