For the purpose of wide spread usage, to avoid having to also impliment .htaccess on the database configuration file, the use of a .pl file would be the best approach.

However it doesn’t mean i’m not open to suggestion.

Thanks for the feedback.

This is a standard format for DB connections, legible by PHP, Perl and most of their DB abstraction layers.
