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
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.
