- fixed rt.cpan.org#61302, now croak if the config file
parameter is a directory and directory include is not
turned on.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#60429 META.yml typo
- added new option -AllowSingleQuoteInterpolation, which
turns on interpolation for variables inside single quotes.
- added test case for the new option
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@91 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#40925, $indichar replaced by internal
configuration variable EOFseparator, which contains
a 256 bit SHA checksum of the date I fixed the bug.
This will prevent future conflicts hopefully. In addition
it makes it possible to make it customizable, if neccessary,
in a future release.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42721, return undef for empty values
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42331, return undef for empty objects
- fixed rt.cpan.org#44600, comments after blockname
causes parser failure.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42287, whitespace at beginning or end
of a quoted value gets lost after save().
- fixed rt.cpan.org#46184, variables that were not previously
defined are deleted when -InterPolateEnv is enabled.
- fixed bug in config loader for FileHandle objects, it
supports now any compatible object. Hint by Ingo Schmiegel.
- applied spelling- and speedup patches by Ville Skyttä.
- applied documentation patch by Jordan Macdonald.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@69 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#38635. apache-like include now supports
quoted strings.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#41748. saving config with -tie enabled
now keeps the tie as documented.
- added unit test for -tie. For this to work, a copy of
Tie::LxHash module is delivered with Config::General
source, but will not installed, in fact, it is only
used for 'make test' (number 50)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#39159. documentation of functional interface
now reflects that qw$method) is now required.
- applied patch by AlexK fixing rt.cpan.org#41030:
if files are included by means of a glob pattern having the -IncludeGlob
option activated, paths specified by the -ConfigPath option are being
neglected when trying to spot the files. This patch fixes this
- applied patch by fbicknel, fixes rt.cpan.org#41570:
An array of scalars (eg: option = [1,2,3]) cannot
be used for interpolation (which element shall we use?!), so
we ignore those types of lists and don't build a __stack for them.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@67 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#35122. This one was one of the most
intriguing bugs I've ever observed in my own code. The
internal temporary __stack hashref were copied from one
subhash to another to enable inheritance of variables.
However, the hashes were copied by reference, so once a
value changed later, that value were overwritten because
the __stack in question were just a reference. I introduced
a simple function _copy() which copies the contents of
the __stack by value, which solved the bug.
Conclusion: beware of perl hash refs!
- fixed rt.cpan.org#36607, accept whitespaces in heredoc
names if split delimiter is gues (equalsign or whitespace)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#34080 (typo)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#35766. Variables inside single quoted
strings will no more interpolated (as the docu states).
Also added test case for this.
- fixed bug rt.cpan.org#33766. Checking for defined not true
in ::Extended::AUTOLOAD().
- added -UTF8 flag, which opens files in utf8 mode
(suggested by KAORU, rt.cpan.org#35583)
I decided not to add a test case for this, since perls
utf8 support is not stable with all versions.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@65 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#31529 variable inheritance failed
with multiple named blocks.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33447, regex to catch variable
names were too strict, now - . + or : are allowed too.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33385 and #32978 - using arrayrefs
as param to -String didn't work anymore (sic)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33216 - variable stack were not properly
re-constructed for pre-existing variables if
-MergeDuplicateOptions is turned on.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@64 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- "fixed" rt.cpan.org#30199 - check for invalid and
unsupported structures, especially mixing blocks
and scalars with identical names.
- added checks to 'make test' to test for the above
checks.
- revoked patch of rt.cpan.org#27225, it broke running
code.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#30063 (and #27225!) by reimplementing
the whole interpolation code. The internal stack is
no more a class variable of the module but stored
directly within the generated config hash and cleaned
before returning to the user.
- added (modified) patch rt.cpan.org#30063 to check
if interpolation works with supplied default config
works.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@63 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#26333 - just return $con if env var
is undefined.
- applied part of a patch supplied by Vincent Rivellino <vince@cuz.cx>
which turns off explicit empty block support if in
apache compatibility mode, see next.
- added new option -ApacheCompatible, which makes the
module behave really apache compatible by setting the
required options.
- a little bit re-organized the code, most of the stuff
in new() is now outsourced into several extra subs to
make maintenance of the code easier. The old new() sub
in fact was a nightmare.
- fixed a bug reported by Otto Hirr <otto.hirr@olabinc.com>:
the _store() sub used sort() to sort the keys, which conflicts
with sorted hashes (eg. tied using Tie::IxHash).
- fixed tie bug reported by King, Jason <kingj@newsltd.com.au>,
loading of the tie module didn't work.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@59 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed rt.cpan.org#24232 - import ENV vars only if defined
- fixed rt.cpan.org#20742 - dont' overwrite a var if re-defined
in current scope, interpolation failed for re-defined vars and used
the value of the var defined in outer scope, not the current one.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#17852 - a 0 as blockname were ignored. applied
patch by SCOP to t/run.t to test for 0 in blocks.
- applied most hints Perl::Critic had about Config::General:
o the functions ParseConfig SaveConfig SaveConfigString must
now imported implicitly. This might break existing code, but
is easily to fix.
o using IO::File instead of open().
o General.pm qualifies for "stern" level after all.
- added much more tests to t/run.t for 'make test'.
- using Test::More now.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@58 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- applied patches by Jason Rhinelander <jagerman@jagerman.com>:
o bugfix: multiple levels if include files didn't
work properly.
o new option -IncludeDirectories, which allows
to include all files of a directory. The directory
must be specified by -ConfigFile as usual.
o new option -IncludeGlob, which allows to
use globs (wildcards) to include multiple files.
o -ConfigPath can be speciefied using a single
scalar value instead of an array if there is only
one path.
o bugfix: quotes from quoted block names were
not removed properly.
o fixes and updates for tests (make test) for
the above patches.
Thanks a lot Jason.
- fixed number of tests in run.t
- applied suggestion by Eric Kisiel <eric.kisiel@adelphia.com>:
::Extended::keys() returns an empty hash if the
referring object is not hash.
- fixed bug #14770, "Use of uninitialized value.." during
environment variable interpolation.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@57 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- applied patch by Branislav Zahradnik
<brano@blueorange.sk> which adds -InterPolateEnv.
This allows to use environment variables too. It
implies -InterPolateVars.
- added object list capability for the ::Extended::obj()
method. If a certain key points to an array of
hashrefs, then the whole arrayref is returned.
Suggested by Alan Hodgkinson <alan@softxs.ch>.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@56 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed bug in save(), now blocks containing whitespaces
will be saved using quotes, in addition the parser observes
the quoting feature, added portion about this to the pod
doc. pointed out by Jeff Murphy <jcmurphy@jeffmurphy.org>.
- added internal list of files opened so far to avoid
reading in the same file multiple times.
Suggested by Michael Graham.
- added new method files() which returns the above list.
- added workaround for foolish perl installation on
debian systems (croak() doesn't work anymore as of
5.8.4, it's a shame!)
- applied patch by Michael Graham which fixes IncludeRelative
feature, now an included file is being included relative
to the calling config file, not the first one.
- added 'make test' targets for files() and include
stuff. (by Michael too)
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@54 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed bug with not working -IncludeRelative setting when
including a config file. It were only included from the
location relative to the underlying config if it were
non-existent. reported by Dmitry Koteroff <dmitry@koteroff.ru>.
- applied patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
which adds the -BackslashEscape parameter to enable
general escaping of special characters using the
backslash.
- fixed bug reported by Harold van Oostrom <cpan@lanceerplaats.nl>:
according to the documentation one can call new() with
a hash-ref as its single parameter which would then
used as the config. This didn't work and were fixed.
- added feature suggested by Eric Andreychek <eric@openthought.net>:
now block statements like this are allowed: "<directory blah/>"
which is called an explicit empty block. This generates just
an empty hash-ref and saves writing. In fact, internally it
will be converted to:
<directory blah>
</directory>
- fixed Makefile.PL: it cleans now files generated by 'make test'
properly. reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org>
- updated MANIFEST (in fact I did this some years ago the last time!)
also reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org>
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@51 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed Bug #3869 (rt.cpan.org) reported by
"Mike Depot" <mdepot@comcast.net>
- applied patch by Roland Huss <Roland.Huss@consol.de>,
which fixes a bug with the -Tie option, sub-hashes of
named blocks were not properly created (in fact, not
tied).
- added documentation to Interpolated.pm that it does not
interpolate variables in keys, see bug #3773 (rt.cpan.org).
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@50 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- fixed bug reported by Stefano di Sandro <stedis@ulis.it>: in
OOP mode (extended access) the obj() method returned the whole
config object if the given key does not exist. Now it returns
a new empty object.
- added patch by David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au> which
sets $/ if it is unset.
- added patch by David Dick <david_dick@iprimus.com.au> which
calls the binmode() function in case the modules is being
used under win32 systems. Read perldoc -f binmode for more
informations on this issue.
- added feature suggested by Chase Phillips <cmp@uiuc.edu>:
the new() method has a new parameter -Tie which takes the
name of a Tie class that each new hash should be based off
of. This makes it possible to create a config hash with
ordered contents across nested structures.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@46 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- applied patch by Michael Gray <mjg17@eng.cam.ac.uk> which
fixes a bug in the Interpolate.pm submodule. A second variable,
when immediately following the first, did not get interpolated,
i.e. ${var1}${var2}.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@42 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- applied patch by Robb Canfield <robb@canfield.com>,
which fixes a bug in the variable interpolation
scheme. It did not interpolate blocks nor
blocknames. This patch fixes this. Patch slightly
modified by me(interpolation on block and blocknames).
- enhanced test for variable interpolation to
reflect this.
- added check if a named block occurs after the underlying
block is already an array, which is not possible.
perl cannot add a hashref to an array. i.e.:
<bl>
a = 1
</bl>
<bl>
b = 1
</bl>
<bl blubber>
c = 1
</bl>
As you can see, "<bl>" will be an array, and "blubber"
cannot be stored in any way on this array.
The module croaks now if such construct occurs.

by the -DefaultConfig parameter was ignored by
the new interpolation code, this has been fixed.
- fixed another bug in the new interpolation code,
which made variable global, the variable scope
were ignored. Now a special constructed hash
exists, which makes sure, that variables only
valid within its correct scope.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@38 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
Peter Sergeant <pete@clueball.com> reported this
mis-behavior. The problem was that the whole hash
was feeded to ::Interpolated.pm, but as we all
know, perl hashes doesn't preserve the order. So,
in our case the module sometimes was unable to
resolve variablenames, because they were stored
in a different location as it occured in the config.
The change is, that Config::General now calls
::Interpolate.pm (new sub: _interpolate()) itself
directly on a per-key/value pair basis. The internal
varstack is now stored on $this globally. So, now
a variable will be known when it occurs. period :-

was within a block, then /^ #/ was not ignored as
comment but instead added as variable. Reported by
Lupe Christoph <lupe@lupe-christoph.de>
- added -StrictObjects parameter support in the following
::Extended methods: hash() and value().
- added better parameter checks in the ::Extended::obj()
method. Its now no more possible to create a new (sub-)
object from an undefined key or a key which does not
point to a hash reference.
- simplified storing of ConfigFile and ConfigHash in new()
removed my variable $configfile.
- the original parameter list will now be saved, which is
required for ::Extended to create new objects with the
same config as their parents.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@35 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
ignore undefined variables and replaces such occurences
with the emppty string.
- applied patch by Stefan Moser <sm@open.ch>, which fixes
some weird bevavior if -MergeDuplicateOptions was turned
on, the parser croaked regardless -MergeDuplicateBlocks
was set or not. Now the two options behave almost independent
from each other, which allows one to merge duplicate
blocks but duplicate options not.
- changed behavior of setting -MergeDuplicateOptions which
implied in previous versions -AllowMultiOptions to be
false. Now this will only be done if the user does not
set -AllowMultiOptions by himself. This allows one to
have duplicate blocks which will be turned into an
array but duplicate options to be merged.
- applied patch by Matthias Pitzl <matthias@izb.net>, which
fixes a bug at parsing apache-like include directive
(Include ...). It did not properly trim unnecessary whitespaces
so that the filename to be included became invalid. This
bug espessially occurred if one saved a hash containing
a key/value pair like this: "Include" => "/etc/grs.cfg",
which was then saved as "Include /etc/grs.cfg", the
parser returned " /etc/grs.cfg" which, of course, does
not exists. odd...

function call which caused the module to croak.
- added feature request, if in extended mode (OOP turned
on with -ExtendedAccess => 1 access to non-existent keys
caused a croak. While this is still the default behavior
it is now possible to turn this off using -StrictObjects => 0.
- added this to the related pod section in ::Extended.
- fixed bug in new() which caused a couple of errors
if the ConfigFile parameter is not set, or is set to
undef. In this case it will now simply create an empty
object.
- fixed related bug in save_file() which will save "" to
a file now if the config is uninitialized (i.e. the case
mentioned below arrived).

reason I cant remember all of its methods. This included
keys() exists() and delete(), which are perl internals.
If one used keys() on a normal hash, then the ::Extended
own keys() were used instead of perls own one. I removed
the export line.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@31 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
module populates now uses of uninitialized variables in
config files itself instead of just letting perl die().
The other suggestion of the RFE was declined.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@30 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
whitespaces in option names.
- changed the save() calls in the test script (t/run.t)
to save_file()
- removed new() from ::Interpolated and ::Extended.
This may break existing code (they will need to
move to the flags of Config::General::new() ), but
this decision must be made. The problem was that
both the old way of directly using the subclasses
and the enw way did not work together. So, now
subclasses are only method holders and used by
Config::General on request. Direct use of subclasses
is prohibited. (you receive a warning if you do).
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@28 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
caused a beloved "use of uninitialized ..." message.
Reported by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>.
- Removed all deprecated methods (in fact, they are still
there for shouting out a warn that its deprecated. But
the pod sections are removed. These are NoMultiOptions()
and save().
- added two new parameters to new(): -InterPolateVars and
-ExtendedAccess, which allows one to use the functionalites
of the supplied submodules without the need to decide
for one of them. This makes it possible to use variable
interpolation and oop access in the same time. Suggested
by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com>.
- added new parameter -BaseHash which makes it possible
to supply your own hash which stores the parsed contents
of the config. This can be a tied hash o the like.
Suggested by Jared Rhine <jared@wordzoo.com> too.
- switched to release 2.00 because the above is a major
change.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@26 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
bit better to understand.
- added new parameter -DefaultConfig, which can hold a hashref
or a string, which will be used to pre-define values
of the resulting hash after parsing a config.
Thanks to Mark Hampton <mark.hampton@qualis.com> for the
suggestion.
- added new parameter -MergeDuplicateOptions, which allows
one to overwrite duplicate options, which is required,
if you turn on -DefaultConfig, because otherwise a
array would be created, which is probably not what you
wanted.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::keys(), which allows to
retrieve the keys of the object itself (which was not
directly possible before)
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::Extended::value(), which allows to
set a value to a (perlish-) nontrue value. This was a
bug.
- added patch by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>
to Config::General::_parse_value, which fixes a bug in
this method, which in prior versions caused values of
"0" (zero digit) to be wiped out of the config.
- added tests in t/run.t for the new default config feature.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@25 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
in _store(), which caused the module to create scalar
entries even if the entry contained newlines. While
Danial supplied a patch to fix this - thx(TM) - I
did not apply it, because I "outsourced" this kind of
stuff to the subroutine _write_scalar(), see next.
- added internal methods _write_scalar() and _write_hash()
to simplify _store(), which did the same thing more
than once, which is a good time to create a sub which
does the job.
- fixed cut'n paste bug in General/Extended.pm reported by
Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which caused
Config::General::Extended::is_scalar() to return true even
when the key you pass in is an array.
- added new method Config::General::Extended::delete() suggested
by Danial Pearce <danial@infoxchange.net.au>, which deletes
the given key from the config.
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@23 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
could happen, in 1.29 it was "lost". However -
I added it again now.
- added patch by Peder Stray <peder@linpro.no> to
the _store() method, which makes it possible to catch
arrays of hashes to be stored correctly.
- cleaned up the t/run.t testscript to reflect the
changes (in fact I did not touch it since 1.18 or so).
- added test number 16 to test variable interpolation
using ::Interpolated in t/run.t.
- fixed bug with new() parameter -AllowMultiOptions which
generated a croak() if set to something other than "no".
- changed Extended::save() to reflect the API change,
it calls now save_file().
git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@21 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
- added contributed sub module Config::General::Interpolated
by "Wei-Hon Chen" <plasmaball@pchome.com.tw> with
help from "Autrijus Tang" <autrijus@autrijus.org>
which makes it possible to use variables inside
config files.
- _read() accepts now c-comments inside c-comments if
they are on a single line.
- _read() is now more tolerant to here-identifiers
(the ends of here-docs), whitespaces right after
such an identifier are allowed (i.e. "EOF ").
- _read() does now behave somewhat different with
C-comments, they will be the first thing being
processed in a config, so the parser really
ignores everything inside C-comments. Previously
it did not do that, for example here-docs has
not been ignored.

option itself, if more than one of this particular
option occured.
- added -UseApacheInclude feature, contributed by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>
- fixed bug with multiple options stuff, which did not
work with blocks or named blocks. Pointed out by
Thomas Klausner <domm@zsi.at>, who meant it being
feature request, but in fact it was a bug (IMHO).
- Config::General does now contain also it's OO-sister
Config::General::Extended, which is from now on
no more available as an extra module, because it
lived a shadowy existence.
- finally(!) created a Changelog file (this one, yes).
