Config::Any::CSV - Load CSV as config files
version 0.02
use Config::Any; my $config = Config::Any->load_files({files => \@files});
I recommend to use Config::ZOMG:
use Config::ZOMG; # just load a single file my $config_hash = Config::ZOMG->open( $csv_file ); # load foo.csv (and possible foo_local.csv) my $config = Config::ZOMG->new( path => '/path/to/config' name => 'foo' );
This small module adds support of CSV files to Config::Any. Files with extension .csv are read with Text::CSV - see that module for documentation of the particular CSV format. By default, Config::Any::CSV enables the options binary and allow_whitespace. One can modify options with driver_args (Config::Any) or driver (Config::ZOMG). The first row of a CSV file is always interpreted as a list of field names and the first field is always interpreted as key field. For instance this CSV file
.csv
binary
allow_whitespace
driver_args
driver
name,age,mail alice, 42, alice@example.org bob, 23, bob@example.org
Is parsed into this Perl structure:
{ alice => { age => '42', mail => 'alice@example.org', }, bob => { age => '23', mail => 'bob@example.org' } }
The name of the first field is irrelevant and the order of rows gets lost. If a file contains multiple rows with the same first field value, only the last of these rows is used. Empty lines are ignored.
This module requires Perl 5.10 but it could easily be modified to also run in more ancient versions of Perl.
