Config::Objective 0.9.1

Config::Objective is a Perl module that provides a mechanism for parsing config files to manipulate configuration data. Unlike most other config file modules, which represent config data as simple variables, Config::Objective represents config data as perl objects. This allows for a much more flexible configuration language, since new classes can be easily written to add methods to the config syntax.<br /><br />The Config::Objective class supports the following methods:<br /><br />new()<br /><br /> The constructor. The first argument is the filename of the config file to parse. The second argument is a reference to a hash that maps names to configuration objects.<br /><br /> The remaining arguments are interpretted as a hash of attributes for the object. Currently, the only supported attribute is include_dir, which specifies the directory to search for include files (see "File Inclusion"). If not specified, include_dir defaults to ".".<br /><br />object_name<br /><br /> Once the constructor parses the config file, you can call the get() method of any of the objects by using the object name as an autoloaded method (see "Recommended Methods").<br /><br />get_obj()<br /><br /> Returns a reference to the object of the specified object name. The object name is the first argument.<br /><br />obj_names()<br /><br /> Returns a list of known object names.<br /><br />get_hash()<br /><br /> Returns a hash where the keys are the known object names and the values are the result of calling the get() method on the corresponding object.<br /><br />SYNOPSIS<br /><br /> use Config::Objective;<br /> use Config::Objective::String;<br /> use Config::Objective::List;<br /><br /> my $conf = Config::Objective->new('filename',<br /> {<br /> 'var1' => Config::Objective::String->new(),<br /> 'var2' => Config::Objective::List->new(),<br /> ...<br /> },<br /> 'include_dir' => '/usr/local/share/appname');<br /><br /> print "var1 = "" . $conf->var1 . ""n";
