ABSTRACT

Config::Backend::String is a backend module for Config::Frontend.

Description

new(\$strref) --> Config::Backend::String

If called with a reference to a string, will instantiate a Config::Backend::String object. Otherwise will attempt to die.

set(var,val) --> void

This method will set variable var to value <val>. All set methods will immediately reset the value of the string that the object references to. So, all changes through 'set' will be visibile imediately to the program environment.

get(var) --> string

Returns undef, if var does not exist. Returns the value of var (string), otherwise.

del(var) --> void

Delets var from the string.

variables() --> list

Will return a list of all variables in Conf::String.
