Config::Abstract 0.13

Config::Abstract is a Perl extension for abstracting configuration files. SYNOPSIS use Config::Abstract; my $ini = new Config::Abstract(testdata.pl); Config::Abstract is the base class for a number of other classes created to facilitate use and handling of a variety of different configuration file formats. It uses the Data::Dumper file format to serialise it self and can be initialise from a file of that format EXAMPLES We assume the content of the file testdata.pl to be: $settings = { book => { chapter1 => { title => The First Chapter, ever, file => book/chapter1.txt }, title => A book of chapters, chapter2 => { title => The Next Chapter, after the First Chapter, ever, file => book/chapter2.txt }, author => Me, Myself and Irene } }; use Config::Abstract; my $settingsfile = testdata.pl; my $abstract = new Config::Abstract($settingsfile); my %book = $abstract->get_entry(book); my %chap1 = $abstract->get_entry_setting(book,chapter1); my $chap1title = $chapter1{title}; # Want to see the file? # If you can live without comments and blank lines ;), # try this: print("My abstract file looks like this:n$abstractnCool, huh?n"); # We can also create an ini file from it # A bit crude, but it does the job bless($abstract,Config::Abstract::Ini); print($abstract);.
