Multiple Cfg's - same db.cgi and html.pl?

Multiple Cfg's - same db.cgi and html.pl?
Can i set up multiple .cfg files to control the behavior (required fields) on various forms? if so, how?

I have one db.cgi, and one html.pl -- I've successfully cloned sections of the html.pl to have different forms on different pages, but I need to have different required fields as well.

The db structure is always the same, the main differences are which fields are displayed on forms and which fields are required to be completed for a particular form -- also there may be a different default value depending on the form.

Is there a way to change the default value based on the form and/or change whether the field can be null dependent on the form instead of as part of the db config?

Any help is greatly appreciated!
