[Catalyst] Where best to store database connection information?

[Octavian Rasnita]

Catalyst uses Config::General to read .conf files. If Config::General is 
configured with the option -UseApacheInclude,
then you can use an apache "include file.conf" in the .conf file to include 
another file from another directory which is not saved by git.

Or the option -IncludeDirectories can be also useful so all the files from 
the given directory will be included.
