devel/p5-Config-IniFiles 3.000003_1 DragonFly

Config::IniFiles provides a way to have readable configuration files outside your Perl script. The configuration can be safely reloaded upon receipt of a signal. Configurations can be imported (inherited, stacked,...), sections can be grouped, and settings can be accessed from a tied hash.

USAGE

Get a new Config::IniFiles object with the *new* method:

$cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => "/path/configfile.ini" );
$cfg = new Config::IniFiles -file => "/path/configfile.ini";

Optional named parameters may be specified after the configuration file name. See the *new* in the METHODS section, below.

INI files consist of a number of sections, each preceded with the section name in square brackets. Parameters are specified in each section as Name=Value. Any spaces around the equals sign will be ignored, and the value extends to the end of the line.
