Config::Plugin::TinyManifold - A plugin which uses Config::Tiny with 1 of N sections
package My::App; use strict; use warnings; use Config::Plugin::TinyManifold; # For config_manifold(). use File::Spec; # ------------------------------------------------ sub marine { my($self) = @_; my($config) = $self -> config_manifold(File::Spec -> catfile('some', 'dir', 'config.tiny.manifold.ini') ); } # End of marine. # -------------------------------------------------- 1;
t/config.tiny.manifold.ini ships with the Config::Plugin::TinyManifold distro, and is used in the test file t/test.t.
When you 'use' this module (as in the Synopsis), it automatically imports into your class the method "config_maifold($file_name)" to give you access to config data stored in an *.ini file.
But more than that, it uses a value from the config file to select 1 of N sections within that file as the whole config. See "config_manifold($file_name)" for details.
This module is available as a Unix-style distro (*.tgz).
See http://savage.net.au/Perl-modules/html/installing-a-module.html for help on unpacking and installing distros.
Install Config::Plugin::TinyManifold as you would for any Perl module:
Perl
Run:
cpanm Config::Plugin::TinyManifold
or run:
sudo cpan Config::Plugin::TinyManifold
or unpack the distro, and then either:
perl Build.PL ./Build ./Build test sudo ./Build install
or:
perl Makefile.PL make (or dmake or nmake) make test make install
This module does not have, and does not need, a constructor.
Returns a *.ini-style config file as a hashref.
Here, the [] indicate an optional parameter.
The $file_name is passed to Config::Tiny's read($file_name) method.
It uses a value from the config file to select 1 of N sections within that file as the whole config.
Specifically, the name of the global section is hard-coded as '[global]', and the name of the key within that is hard-coded as 'section'.
So, a sample config file, which ships as t/config.tiny.manifold.ini is:
[global] # The 'section' key: # o Specifies which section to use after the [global] section ends. # o Case-sensitive options are /^(localhost|webhost)$/. section = localhost [localhost] template_path = /home/ron/assets/templates/CGI/Snapp [website] template_path = /dev/shm/html/assets/templates/CGI/Snapp
Alternately, you could use sections called [global], [testing] and [production], and so on.
In your sub-class of CGI::Snapp for example, or anywhere else you want effortless access to a *.ini file which contains N alternate sections, and you wish to auto-select 1 of these sections.
For example, if you wish to load a config for use by a module such as Log::Handler::Plugin::DBI, try Config::Plugin::Tiny or Config::Plugin::TinyManifold.
Because "config_manifold($file_name)" allows both Config::Plugin::Tiny and Config::Plugin::TinyManifold to be used in the same code.
It is not needed; it would be for documentation only.
For the record, Exporter V 5.567 ships with Perl 5.8.0. That's what I had in Build.PL and Makefile.PL until I tested the fact I can omit it.
Every message passed to croak matches /^Error/ and ends with "\n".
My paper dictionary lists 8 meanings. The first 2 are:
So, rather like sections in a *.ini file...
