Perl5 module for reading .ini-style configuration files Maintained by:culot@FreeBSD.org Port Added: 02 Nov 2000 18:14:29 Also Listed In:perl5 License: ART10 GPLv1
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.
