p5-ConfigReader

Perl5 module to read directives from a configuration file

The ConfigReader library is a set of classes which reads directives from a configuration file. The library is completely object oriented, and it is envisioned that parsers for new styles of configuration files can be easily added. ConfigReader::Spec encapsulates a specification for configuration directives. You can specify which directives can be in the configuration file, aliases for the directive, whether the directive is required or has a default value, and how to parse the directive value. Here's an example of how one directive might be specified: required $spec 'HomePage', 'new URI::URL'; This defines a required directive called 'HomePage'. To parse the value from the configuration file, the URI::URL::new() method will be called with the string value as its argument. use 'perldoc ConfigReader' for more information.
