When replacing a configuration file with command-line options and/or environment variables, you still end up with configuration files. The difference is in syntax; with environment variables and CLI options, your "configuration files" will take the form of executable scripts, most likely in either shell or Perl syntax.
Here you have well understood syntax, and very well tested parsing code.
