Subject: In-code data

Hi,

What is the best way/practice of storing data that is to be used and
accessed within your code. For example if I downloded a language
dictionay in txt format. Would it make more sense to read it from a text
file and parse it into a hash table variable. Or could I have it
contained within a secondary source file and simple use 'require' to
load it. I work with a lot of specifications which often contain lots of
tables with values, I would like to simply cut and paste the tables into
my code. This would make the code easier to update between versions of
specs especially where the data in the tables has changed. I know this
sounds like a general question, but I am all ears to any ideas of new
ways of working.
