Subject: Ruby application session parameters

I am trying to create multiple applications that perform different
processes on our servers.  The important aspect is that I want to
somehow put into a session or configuration file data from all of these
applications so we can manage the sessions from one place.

Example if XML:

<session>
    <app id="test1">
        <user>user1</user>
        <pass>pass1</pass>
        <err>false</err>
        <email address="user1@user.com">true</email>
    </app>
    <app id="test2">
        <user>user2</user>
        <pass>pass2</pass>
        <err>false</err>
        <email address="user1@user.com">true</email>
    </app>
</session>

I have also tried this:
<conf.rb>
if $CURRPROC == 'test1'
  @conf = {
      'id'          =>  'test1',
      'user'        =>  'user1',
      'pass'        =>  'pass1',
      'err'         =>  'false'
  }
end

if $CURRPROC == 'test2'
  @conf = {
      'id'          =>  'test2',
      'user'        =>  'user2',
      'pass'        =>  'pass2',
      'err'         =>  'false'
  }
end

<app.rb>
$CURRPROC = 'test1'
require 'config.rb'

puts @conf['id']
puts @conf['log']

This seems to work to read, but I am not sure if this is what I should
be doing because it seems hard to change a single value and write it
back out to the file.  In this case, if an error occurred during
processing, I want to change the 'err' value to 'true' so that future
processing could take that into account when that process was run.  I've
just had a heck of at time getting to parse XML and read/write
correctly, or getting the ruby code to save easily with small changes.
Other examples I looked up are good for a single configuration file for
a single application, but I am trying to have a central configuration
file for multiple applications.  Any suggestions are appreciated of
course.
