| Description: | This module opens a config file and parses its contents for you. After parsing
the module returns a hash structure that 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 with
Apache config files, 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 multi-line options. It
is also possible to save the config back to disk, which makes the module a
perfect back-end for configuration interfaces. It is possible to use variables
in config files and there also exists support for object oriented access to the
configuration. |
