Config::Model was designed to handle this kind of situation. 

Config::Model can be used to load old users data from old file, migrate data 
from old config directives to new config directives and save them in the new 
config file.

As this is an interesting real world use case, I will help you create this 
migration tool with Config::Model.

What do you think ?
