- added 2 procedural functions ParseConf and SaveConf
- added new parameters -AutoTrue and -FlagBits
- added save_file() which replaces save(), which was
weird implemented. If the user only supplied a hash
as parameter to save(), then the first key was
used as the filename and the rest was used
as a config hash (which was then of an uneven size).
- save_file() takes now instead of a hash a hash-ref
and a filename. And the hashref is optional, since
the object already contains a complete hash.
- new method save_string() added, which returns the
ready generated string instead of writing it to
disk. The user can then save it himself.
- POD updated.

NAME
Config::General - Generic Config Module
SYNOPSIS
use Config::General;
$conf = new Config::General("rcfile");
my %config = $conf->getall;
DESCRIPTION
This small module opens a config file and parses it's
contents for you. The new method requires one parameter
which needs to be a filename. The method getall returns a
hash which contains all options and it's associated values
of your config file.
The format of config files supported by Config::General is
inspired by the well known apache config format, in fact,
this module is 100% compatible to apache configs, but you
can also just use simple name/value pairs in your config
files.
In addition to the capabilities of an apache config file
it supports some enhancements such as here-documents, C-
style comments or multiline options.
