perl-Config-General-2.51-2.fc19.noarch

This module opens a config file and parses its contents for you. After parsing the module returns a hash structure which contains the representation of the config file. The format of config files supported by Config::General is inspired by the well known Apache config format, in fact, this module is 100% read-compatible with Apache configs, but you can also just use simple name/value pairs in your config files. In addition to the capabilities of an Apache config file it supports some enhancements such as here-documents, C-style comments or multiline options. It is also possible to save the config back to disk, which makes the module a perfect backend for configuration interfaces. It is possible to use variables in config files and there exists also support for object oriented access to the configuration.
