W3Perl need a configuration file in order to run. This file provide
informations about various settings as logfiles, path, filtering
rules, display options.
W3Perl use the default file config.pl to load configuration file. If
you want to use another one, you need to load it with the -c flag.
Many configuration files can be used for different purposes. For instance, you may want to get statistics for parts of your
website for different users (some stats may be private to some users).

If you have a server running, you can use the form available at
http://localhost/w3perl/admin/ to manage your configuration files
