- 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. git-svn-id: http://dev.catalyst.perl.org/repos/Config-General/trunk@16 be1acefe-a474-0410-9a34-9b3221f2030f
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.
