-ConfigHash (in replace for -hash) to get a consistent
parameter naming scheme. The old names are still
supported for backward compatibility, but no more
documented.
- the parameter -BaseHash has been dropped because
-DefaultConfig already has the capabilities of
defining a custom backing hash. The pod section for
-DefaultConfig has been enhanced to reflect this.
- README changed something. Removed the 'small' keyword,
because the module isn't really small anymore :-)
At least IMHO.

NAME
Config::General - Generic Config Module
SYNOPSIS
use Config::General;
$conf = new Config::General(-ConfigFile => "myconfig.rc");
my %config = $conf->getall;
DESCRIPTION
This module opens a config file and parses it's contents
for you. After parsing the module returns a hash structure
which contains the representation of the 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% read-compatible to apache configs, but
you can also just use simple name/value pairs in your config
files.
In addition to the capabilities of a apache config file
it supports some enhancements such as here-documents, C-
style comments or multiline options. It is also possible to
save the config back to disk, which makes the module a
perfect backend for configuration interfaces.
It is possible to use variables in config files and there
exists also support for object oriented access to the
configuration.
