- added test case for the code.
- fixed unindented half of the pod, which was largely no
readable because of this. However, I wonder why this hasn't
reported, seems nobody reads the docs :)
- fixed tab/space issues here and there
2.61 - fix rt.cpan.org#113671: ignore utf BOM, if any and turn on
UTF8 support if not yet enabled.

2.55 - fix rt.cpan.org#95314
2.54 - fixed rt.cpan.org#39814. changed the order of pre-processing
in _read(): 1) remove comments, 2) check for continuation,
3) remove empty lines.
2.53 - applied patch rt.cpan.org#68153, which adds a find() method to
Config::General::Extended.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#79869 (in fact it has been fixed in 2.52
but I forgot to mention it here).

idea from rt.cpan.org#79694.
Currently available hooks are:
pre_open, pre_read, post_read, pre_parse_value, post_parse_value
- applied patch by Ville Skyttä, spelling fixes.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#85080, more spelling fixes.
- applied patch rt.cpan.org#85132, which fixes a deprecation
warning in perl 5.18 and above. Fixes #85668 as well.
- applied patch rt.cpan.org#85538, c-style comments
are ignored inside here-docs.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#82637, don't use indirect object syntax
in pod and code.
2.51 - fixed rt.cpan.org#77667 which resulted in invalid configs
written to file when using save_file() and a named block,
whose 2nd part starts with a /.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#64169 by applying patch by Dulaunoy Fabrice.
adds -NoEscape switch which turns off escaping of anything.
- implemented suggestion of rt.cpan.org#67564 by adding 3 new
parameters: -NormalizeOption, -NormalizeBlock and -NormalizeValue,
which take a subroutine reference and change the block,
option or value accordingly.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#65860+76953 undefined value error.
2.50
- fixed rt.cpan.org#63487 documentation error.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#61302, now croak if the config file
parameter is a directory and directory include is not
turned on.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#60429 META.yml typo
- added new option -AllowSingleQuoteInterpolation, which
turns on interpolation for variables inside single quotes.
- added test case for the new option
2.49
- fixed rt.cpan.org#56532, '#' missed during fix for
56370 in 2.45.
- added test case for this too
2.48
- arg, uploaded the wrong file to pause, so another version
bump up.
- fixed typos in pod section for -ForceArray.
2.47
- fixed rt.cpan.org#53759 by adding new option -ForceArray.
when enabled a single config value enclosed in [] will become
an array forcefully.
- fixed typo in license: it is "artistic", not "artificial".
2.46
- fixed rt.cpan.org#56370: there was a sort() call in _store()
left, which lead to sorted arrays even if -SaveSorted were
turned off.
2.45
- fixed rt.cpan.org#50647 escaping bug. Now escaped $ or
backslash characters are handled correctly (across save too)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#52047, tied hash will remain tied
when savong to a file.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#54580, preserve single quotes during
variable interpolation corrected. No more using rand()
to mark single quotes but an incrementor instead.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42721+54583, empty config values will no
more handed over to interpreting methods (as interpolate
or autotrue and the like) but returned as undef untouched.
2.44
- fixed rt.cpan.org#49023 by rolling back change in 2.43
in line 158, regarding GLOB support.
2.43
- fixed rt.cpan.org#40925, $indichar replaced by internal
configuration variable EOFseparator, which contains
a 256 bit SHA checksum of the date I fixed the bug.
This will prevent future conflicts hopefully. In addition
it makes it possible to make it customizable, if necessary,
in a future release.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42721, return undef for empty values
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42331, return undef for empty objects
- fixed rt.cpan.org#44600, comments after blockname
causes parser failure.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#42287, whitespace at beginning or end
of a quoted value gets lost after save().
- fixed rt.cpan.org#46184, variables that were not previously
defined are deleted when -InterPolateEnv is enabled.
- fixed bug in config loader for FileHandle objects, it
supports now any compatible object. Hint by Ingo Schmiegel.
- applied spelling- and speedup patches by Ville Skyttä.
- applied documentation patch by Jordan Macdonald.
2.42
- dist tarball for 2.41 missed t/Tie/LxHash.pm. Dammit.
the File to the MANIFEST.
2.41
- fixed rt.cpan.org#38635. apache-like include now supports
quoted strings.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#41748. saving config with -tie enabled
now keeps the tie as documented.
- added unit test for -tie. For this to work, a copy of
Tie::LxHash module is delivered with Config::General
source, but will not installed, in fact, it is only
used for 'make test' (number 50)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#39159. documentation of functional interface
now reflects that qw$method) is now required.
- applied patch by AlexK fixing rt.cpan.org#41030:
if files are included by means of a glob pattern having the -IncludeGlob
option activated, paths specified by the -ConfigPath option are being
neglected when trying to spot the files. This patch fixes this
- applied patch by fbicknel, fixes rt.cpan.org#41570:
An array of scalars (eg: option = [1,2,3]) cannot
be used for interpolation (which element shall we use?!), so
we ignore those types of lists and don't build a __stack for them.
2.40
- fixed SplitDelimiter parser regex, it does no more consider
non-whitespaces (\S+?) as the option name but anything
before the delimiter (.+?), this fixes bug rt.cpan.org#36607,
the fix of 2.39 were not sufficient. Thanks to
Jeffrey Ratcliffe for pointing it out.
- added new parameter -SaveSorted. The default value is 0,
that means configs will be saved unsorted (as always),
however if you want to save it sorted, turn this parameter
to 1. Thanks to Herbert Breunung for the hint.
- added complexity test, which checks a combination
of various complex features of the parser.
2.39
- fixed rt.cpan.org#35122. This one was one of the most
intriguing bugs I've ever observed in my own code. The
internal temporary __stack hashref were copied from one
subhash to another to enable inheritance of variables.
However, the hashes were copied by reference, so once a
value changed later, that value were overwritten because
the __stack in question were just a reference. I introduced
a simple function _copy() which copies the contents of
the __stack by value, which solved the bug.
Conclusion: beware of perl hash refs!
- fixed rt.cpan.org#36607, accept whitespaces in heredoc
names if split delimiter is gues (equalsign or whitespace)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#34080 (typo)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#35766. Variables inside single quoted
strings will no more interpolated (as the docu states).
Also added test case for this.
- fixed bug rt.cpan.org#33766. Checking for defined not true
in ::Extended::AUTOLOAD().
- added -UTF8 flag, which opens files in utf8 mode
(suggested by KAORU, rt.cpan.org#35583)
I decided not to add a test case for this, since perls
utf8 support is not stable with all versions.
2.38
- fixed rt.cpan.org#31529 variable inheritance failed
with multiple named blocks.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33447, regex to catch variable
names were too strict, now - . + or : are allowed too.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33385 and #32978 - using arrayrefs
as param to -String didn't work anymore (sic)
- fixed rt.cpan.org#33216 - variable stack were not properly
re-constructed for pre-existing variables if
-MergeDuplicateOptions is turned on.
2.37
- "fixed" rt.cpan.org#30199 - check for invalid and
unsupported structures, especially mixing blocks
and scalars with identical names.
- added checks to 'make test' to test for the above
checks.
- revoked patch of rt.cpan.org#27225, it broke running
code.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#30063 (and #27225!) by reimplementing
the whole interpolation code. The internal stack is
no more a class variable of the module but stored
directly within the generated config hash and cleaned
before returning to the user.
- added (modified) patch rt.cpan.org#30063 to check
if interpolation works with supplied default config
works.
2.36
- oh my goodness! For some unknown reason I deleted the
Makefile.PL before packaging. Dammit. So, here it is
again.
2.35
- 'make test' failed under perl 5.5 because some prequisite
modules were not found. So now I added all requirements
to Makefile.PL, even if those modules are part of
recent perls (beginning with 5.6). I could have also
added a 'use 5.6' to the code but this would users
of perl5 exclude. This way they have the possibility
to fix their installation. Hopefully.
No code changes otherwise.
2.34
- fixed rt.cpan.org#27271 - removed output file from
manifest.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#27225 - clear vars off the stack
if entering a new block, so old vars get not re-used.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#27110 - re-implemented support
for arrayref as -String parameter.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#24155 - relative include bug fixed.
- applied patch by GWYN, (see fixed rt.cpan.org#27622)
which allows the same file included multiple times.
there is no loop detection if turned on. new option
introduced: -IncludeAgain => 1 (default turned off).
- added support for -IncludeAgain to directory include
code too.
- the directory globbing code used slashes to join
directory and file names. changed this to use catfile()
instead.
2.33
- fixed rt.cpan.org#26333 - just return $con if env var
is undefined.
- applied part of a patch supplied by Vincent Rivellino
which turns off explicit empty block support if in
apache compatibility mode, see next.
- added new option -ApacheCompatible, which makes the
module behave really apache compatible by setting the
required options.
- a little bit re-organized the code, most of the stuff
in new() is now outsourced into several extra subs to
make maintenance of the code easier. The old new() sub
in fact was a nightmare.
- fixed a bug reported by Otto Hirr :
the _store() sub used sort() to sort the keys, which conflicts
with sorted hashes (eg. tied using Tie::IxHash).
- fixed tie bug reported by King, Jason ,
loading of the tie module didn't work.
2.32
- fixed rt.cpan.org#24232 - import ENV vars only if defined
- fixed rt.cpan.org#20742 - dont' overwrite a var if re-defined
in current scope, interpolation failed for re-defined vars and used
the value of the var defined in outer scope, not the current one.
- fixed rt.cpan.org#17852 - a 0 as blockname were ignored. applied
patch by SCOP to t/run.t to test for 0 in blocks.
- applied most hints Perl::Critic had about Config::General:
o the functions ParseConfig SaveConfig SaveConfigString must
now imported implicitly. This might break existing code, but
is easily to fix.
o using IO::File instead of open().
o General.pm qualifies for "stern" level after all.
- added much more tests to t/run.t for 'make test'.
- using Test::More now.
2.31
- applied patches by Jason Rhinelander :
o bugfix: multiple levels if include files didn't
work properly.
o new option -IncludeDirectories, which allows
to include all files of a directory. The directory
must be specified by -ConfigFile as usual.
o new option -IncludeGlob, which allows to
use globs (wildcards) to include multiple files.
o -ConfigPath can be speciefied using a single
scalar value instead of an array if there is only
one path.
o bugfix: quotes from quoted block names were
not removed properly.
o fixes and updates for tests (make test) for
the above patches.
Thanks a lot Jason.
- fixed number of tests in run.t
- applied suggestion by Eric Kisiel :
::Extended::keys() returns an empty hash if the
referring object is not hash.
- fixed bug #14770, "Use of uninitialized value.." during
environment variable interpolation.
2.30
- applied patch by Branislav Zahradnik
which adds -InterPolateEnv.
This allows to use environment variables too. It
implies -InterPolateVars.
- added object list capability for the ::Extended::obj()
method. If a certain key points to an array of
hashrefs, then the whole arrayref is returned.
Suggested by Alan Hodgkinson .
2.29
- applied patch by brian@kronos.com via rt.cpan.org
#11211.
- applied patch by plasmaball@pchome.com.tw via
rt.cpan.org #5846
- added new files to MANIFEST file.
- added example.cfg to show the config format.
2.28
- fixed bug in save(), now blocks containing whitespaces
will be saved using quotes, in addition the parser observes
the quoting feature, added portion about this to the pod
doc. pointed out by Jeff Murphy .
- added internal list of files opened so far to avoid
reading in the same file multiple times.
Suggested by Michael Graham.
- added new method files() which returns the above list.
- added workaround for foolish perl installation on
debian systems (croak() doesn't work anymore as of
5.8.4, it's a shame!)
- applied patch by Michael Graham which fixes IncludeRelative
feature, now an included file is being included relative
to the calling config file, not the first one.
- added 'make test' targets for files() and include
stuff. (by Michael too)
2.27
- bugfix in _store, which caused warning when saving
a config containing empty hashes. Reported by
herbert breunung .
- removed applied patch (added in 2.20), there are no more
calls to binmode(), this destroys portability, because
perls determines itself wether it uses \n or \r\n as newline.
Reported by herbert breunung too.
- applied patch by Danial Pearce ,
scalars containing a backslash as the last character will
be written out as here-doc when storing a config to disk.
2.26
- fixed invalid regexp in _open() which circumvented
explicit empty block to work when the block statement
included whitespaces.
- more finetuning in Makefile.PL for cleaning emacs'
~ files.
2.25
- fixed bug with not working -IncludeRelative setting when
including a config file. It were only included from the
location relative to the underlying config if it were
non-existent. reported by Dmitry Koteroff .
- applied patch by Danial Pearce
which adds the -BackslashEscape parameter to enable
general escaping of special characters using the
backslash.
- fixed bug reported by Harold van Oostrom :
according to the documentation one can call new() with
a hash-ref as its single parameter which would then
used as the config. This didn't work and were fixed.
- added feature suggested by Eric Andreychek :
now block statements like this are allowed: "
- fixed Makefile.PL: it cleans now files generated by 'make test'
properly. reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker
- updated MANIFEST (in fact I did this some years ago the last time!)
also reported by: Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker
2.24
- fixed Bug #3869 (rt.cpan.org) reported by
"Mike Depot"
- applied patch by Roland Huss ,
which fixes a bug with the -Tie option, sub-hashes of
named blocks were not properly created (in fact, not
tied).
- added documentation to Interpolated.pm that it does not
interpolate variables in keys, see bug #3773 (rt.cpan.org).
2.23
- still versioning problem, stupid white man ;-)
Extended.pm is now 2.00 which *is* higher than 1.10.
2.22
- incremented all version numbers because of cpan problem.
no further changes. See Bug #3347 (rt.cpan.org).
2.21
- fixed bug in new() used $this instead of $self for empty
hashref creation if no config file given.
2.20
- fixed bug reported by Stefano di Sandro : in
OOP mode (extended access) the obj() method returned the whole
config object if the given key does not exist. Now it returns
a new empty object.
- added patch by David Dick which
sets $/ if it is unset.
- added patch by David Dick which
calls the binmode() function in case the modules is being
used under win32 systems. Read perldoc -f binmode for more
informations on this issue.
- added feature suggested by Chase Phillips :
the new() method has a new parameter -Tie which takes the
name of a Tie class that each new hash should be based off
of. This makes it possible to create a config hash with
ordered contents across nested structures.
2.19
- forgot to import 'catfile' from File::Spec. Bug reported by
various people.
- applied patch by Peter Tandler
which adds a search-path feature for include files.
- applied patch by David Dick which
adds an auto launder capability to the module which makes it
possible to use variables read by Config::General in a
tainted perlscript (executed with -T) for open(), backtick calls
or something which the taintmode considers to be dangerous.
2.18
- fixed Bug #2325 (rt.cpan.org). The subs exported by File::Spec
will now imported explicitly.
- fixed warning about double my'ed variable $dummi, changed it
to undef because it was unused anyway.
2.17
- added File::Spec support which makes the modules more portable
(i.e. on win32 systems),
as suggested by Peter Tandler .
2.16
- applied patch by Michael Gray which
fixes a bug in the Interpolate.pm submodule. A second variable,
when immediately following the first, did not get interpolated,
i.e. ${var1}${var2}.
2.15 - fixed Bug in SaveConfig***, which didn't work.
- applied patch by Robb Canfield ,
which fixes a bug in the variable interpolation
scheme. It did not interpolate blocks nor
blocknames. This patch fixes this. Patch slightly
modified by me(interpolation on block and blocknames).
- enhanced test for variable interpolation to
reflect this.
- added check if a named block occurs after the underlying
block is already an array, which is not possible.
perl cannot add a hashref to an array. i.e.:
a = 1
b = 1
c = 1
As you can see, "" will be an array, and "blubber"
cannot be stored in any way on this array.
The module croaks now if such construct occurs.
2.14 - fixed bug reported by Francisco Olarte Sanz
, which caused _parse to
ignore blocks with the name "0":
<0> .. , because it checked just if $block (the name
between < and >) is true, and from the perl point
of view "0" is not. Changed it to check for defined.
Normally I avoid using 'defined' but in this case
it will not be possible that $block contains the
empty string, so defined is ok here.
2.13 - fixed bug reported by Steffen Schwigon .
the parser was still active inside a here-doc, which
cause weird results if the here-doc contained
multiple < reported this
mis-behavior. The problem was that the whole hash
was feeded to ::Interpolated.pm, but as we all
know, perl hashes doesn't preserve the order. So,
in our case the module sometimes was unable to
resolve variablenames, because they were stored
in a different location as it occurred in the config.
The change is, that Config::General now calls
::Interpolate.pm (new sub: _interpolate()) itself
directly on a per-key/value pair basis. The internal
varstack is now stored on $this globally. So, now
a variable will be known when it occurs. period :-)
2.10 - added -StrictVars documentation section to the POD,
which was missing.
- fixed a formatting error in the POD documentation.
2.09 - added bugfix in '#' comment parsing. If current state
was within a block, then /^ #/ was not ignored as
comment but instead added as variable. Reported by
Lupe Christoph
- added -StrictObjects parameter support in the following
::Extended methods: hash() and value().
- added better parameter checks in the ::Extended::obj()
method. Its now no more possible to create a new (sub-)
object from an undefined key or a key which does not
point to a hash reference.
- simplified storing of ConfigFile and ConfigHash in new()
removed my variable $configfile.
- the original parameter list will now be saved, which is
required for ::Extended to create new objects with the
same config as their parents.
2.08 - added option -StrictVars, which causes Interpolate.pm to
ignore undefined variables and replaces such occurrences
with the emppty string.
- applied patch by Stefan Moser , which fixes
some weird bevavior if -MergeDuplicateOptions was turned
on, the parser croaked regardless -MergeDuplicateBlocks
was set or not. Now the two options behave almost independent
from each other, which allows one to merge duplicate
blocks but duplicate options not.
- changed behavior of setting -MergeDuplicateOptions which
implied in previous versions -AllowMultiOptions to be
false. Now this will only be done if the user does not
set -AllowMultiOptions by himself. This allows one to
have duplicate blocks which will be turned into an
array but duplicate options to be merged.
- applied patch by Matthias Pitzl , which
fixes a bug at parsing apache-like include directive
(Include ...). It did not properly trim unnecessary whitespaces
so that the filename to be included became invalid. This
bug espessially occurred if one saved a hash containing
a key/value pair like this: "Include" => "/etc/grs.cfg",
which was then saved as "Include /etc/grs.cfg", the
parser returned " /etc/grs.cfg" which, of course, does
not exists. odd...
2.07 - fixed cpan bugid #1351, SaveConfig contained a deprecated
function call which caused the module to croak.
- added feature request, if in extended mode (OOP turned
on with -ExtendedAccess => 1 access to non-existent keys
caused a croak. While this is still the default behavior
it is now possible to turn this off using -StrictObjects => 0.
- added this to the related pod section in ::Extended.
- fixed bug in new() which caused a couple of errors
if the ConfigFile parameter is not set, or is set to
undef. In this case it will now simply create an empty
object.
- fixed related bug in save_file() which will save "" to
a file now if the config is uninitialized (i.e. the case
mentioned below arrived).
2.06 - added -SplitPolicy, -SplitDelimiter and -StoreDelimiter
- removed whitespace support in keys in the default parser
SplitPolicy 'guess', which was introduced in 2.02. Now
I (re-)use the old regex I used before. if you need
whitespaces in keys, use 'equalsign' as SplitPolicy.
- the write_scalar() method uses the StoreDelimiter for
separating options from values.
- added -CComments to make it possible to turn c-comment
parsing off.
- added support for FileHandle objects as parameter to the
-ConfigFile parameter. This makes it possible to use locking.
2.05 - fixed bug in ::Extended. It exported for some weird
reason I can't remember all of its methods. This included
keys() exists() and delete(), which are perl internals.
If one used keys() on a normal hash, then the ::Extended
own keys() were used instead of perls own one. I removed
the export line.
2.04 - added RFE from rt.cpan.org (ID: 1218). the ::Interpolate
module populates now uses of uninitialized variables in
config files itself instead of just letting perl die().
The other suggestion of the RFE was declined.
2.03 - fixed bug in the _parse() routine (better: design flaw).
after the last patch for allowing whitespaces in
option names, it had a problem with here-docs which
contained equal signs. option/value splitting resulted
in weird output.
- as a side effect of the bug fix below it is now
possible to use equal signs inside quoted values, which
will then be ignored, thus not used for splitting
the line into an option/value assignment.
- added a new test, which tests for all possible notations
of option/value lines.
2.02 - added patch by Jens Heunemann, which allows to use
whitespaces in option names.
- changed the save() calls in the test script (t/run.t)
to save_file()
- removed new() from ::Interpolated and ::Extended.
This may break existing code (they will need to
move to the flags of Config::General::new() ), but
this decision must be made. The problem was that
both the old way of directly using the subclasses
and the enw way did not work together. So, now
subclasses are only method holders and used by
Config::General on request. Direct use of subclasses
is prohibited. (you receive a warning if you do).
2.01 - added -ConfigFile (in replace for -file) and
-ConfigHash (in replace for -hash) to get a consistent
parameter naming scheme. The old names are still
supported for backward compatibility, but no more
documented.
- the parameter -BaseHash has been dropped because
-DefaultConfig already has the capabilities of
defining a custom backing hash. The pod section for
-DefaultConfig has been enhanced to reflect this.
- README changed something. Removed the 'small' keyword,
because the module isn't really small anymore :-)
At least IMHO.
2.00 - fixed a bug in the ::Extended::keys() method, which
caused a beloved "use of uninitialized ..." message.
Reported by Danial Pearce .
- Removed all deprecated methods (in fact, they are still
there for shouting out a warn that its deprecated. But
the pod sections are removed. These are NoMultiOptions()
and save().
- added two new parameters to new(): -InterPolateVars and
-ExtendedAccess, which allows one to use the functionalites
of the supplied submodules without the need to decide
for one of them. This makes it possible to use variable
interpolation and oop access in the same time. Suggested
by Jared Rhine .
- added new parameter -BaseHash which makes it possible
to supply your own hash which stores the parsed contents
of the config. This can be a tied hash o the like.
Suggested by Jared Rhine too.
- switched to release 2.00 because the above is a major
change.
1.36 - simplified new() parameter parsing, should be now a little
bit better to understand.
- added new parameter -DefaultConfig, which can hold a hashref
or a string, which will be used to pre-define values
of the resulting hash after parsing a config.
Thanks to Mark Hampton for the
suggestion.
- added new parameter -MergeDuplicateOptions, which allows
one to overwrite duplicate options, which is required,
if you turn on -DefaultConfig, because otherwise a
array would be created, which is probably not what you
wanted.
- added patch by Danial Pearce
to Config::General::Extended::keys(), which allows to
retrieve the keys of the object itself (which was not
directly possible before)
- added patch by Danial Pearce
to Config::General::Extended::value(), which allows to
set a value to a (perlish-) nontrue value. This was a
bug.
- added patch by Danial Pearce
to Config::General::_parse_value, which fixes a bug in
this method, which in prior versions caused values of
"0" (zero digit) to be wiped out of the config.
- added tests in t/run.t for the new default config feature.
1.35 - the here-doc identifier in saved configs will now created
in a way which avoids the existence of this identifier
inside the here-doc, which if it happens results in
weird behavior in the resulting config.
1.34 - Danial Pearce reported a bug
in _store(), which caused the module to create scalar
entries even if the entry contained newlines. While
Danial supplied a patch to fix this - thx(TM) - I
did not apply it, because I "outsourced" this kind of
stuff to the subroutine _write_scalar(), see next.
- added internal methods _write_scalar() and _write_hash()
to simplify _store(), which did the same thing more
than once, which is a good time to create a sub which
does the job.
- fixed cut'n paste bug in General/Extended.pm reported by
Danial Pearce , which caused
Config::General::Extended::is_scalar() to return true even
when the key you pass in is an array.
- added new method Config::General::Extended::delete() suggested
by Danial Pearce , which deletes
the given key from the config.
1.33 - fixed bug in _parse_value() which caused perl to complain
with "Use of uninitialized value in..." if a value was
empty.
1.32 - *argl* ... I forgot Interpolated.pm, don't know how that
could happen, in 1.29 it was "lost". However -
I added it again now.
- added patch by Peder Stray to
the _store() method, which makes it possible to catch
arrays of hashes to be stored correctly.
- cleaned up the t/run.t testscript to reflect the
changes (in fact I did not touch it since 1.18 or so).
- added test number 16 to test variable interpolation
using ::Interpolated in t/run.t.
- fixed bug with new() parameter -AllowMultiOptions which
generated a croak() if set to something other than "no".
- changed Extended::save() to reflect the API change,
it calls now save_file().
1.31: - i'm such a moron ... I forgot to do a make clean
in 1.30, pf. So this is 1.31, which is clean.
1.30: - fixed typo, which made 1.29 unusable (undefined var %config)
- added code to check if unknown parameters to new()
has been supplied.
1.29:
- added 2 procedural functions ParseConf and SaveConf
- added new parameters -AutoTrue and -FlagBits
- added save_file() which replaces save(), which was
weird implemented. If the user only supplied a hash
as parameter to save(), then the first key was
used as the filename and the rest was used
as a config hash (which was then of an uneven size).
- save_file() takes now instead of a hash a hash-ref
and a filename. And the hashref is optional, since
the object already contains a complete hash.
- new method save_string() added, which returns the
ready generated string instead of writing it to
disk. The user can then save it himself.
- POD updated.
1.28:
- added contributed sub module Config::General::Interpolated
by "Wei-Hon Chen" with
help from "Autrijus Tang"
which makes it possible to use variables inside
config files.
- _read() accepts now c-comments inside c-comments if
they are on a single line.
- _read() is now more tolerant to here-identifiers
(the ends of here-docs), whitespaces right after
such an identifier are allowed (i.e. "EOF ").
- _read() does now behave somewhat different with
C-comments, they will be the first thing being
processed in a config, so the parser really
ignores everything inside C-comments. Previously
it did not do that, for example here-docs has
not been ignored.
1.27: - "make test" complained about uninitialized value
in :146, which is now fixed.
1.26: - added filehandle capability to -file.
- added -String parameter to new(), which allows
one to supply the whole config as a string.
- added -MergeDuplicateBlocks option, which causes
duplicate blocks to be merged.
1.25: - include statements are now case insensitive
- include statements may now also being used with
indentation(leading and following whitespaces are
allowed)
- changed the end here-doc regexp from .+? to \S+?
so " <
and Anton Luht :-)
This allows to include files from the location of
the configfile instead from the working directory.
1.24: - AllowMultiOptions printed out the value and not the
option itself, if more than one of this particular
option occurred.
- added -UseApacheInclude feature, contributed by
Thomas Klausner
- fixed bug with multiple options stuff, which did not
work with blocks or named blocks. Pointed out by
Thomas Klausner , who meant it being
feature request, but in fact it was a bug (IMHO).
- Config::General does now contain also it's OO-sister
Config::General::Extended, which is from now on
no more available as an extra module, because it
lived a shadowy existence.
- finally(!) created a Changelog file (this one, yes).
1.23: - fixed bug, which removed trailing or leading " even
no matching " was there.
1.22: - added a new option to new(): -LowerCaseNames, which
lowercases all option-names (feature request)
1.21: - lines with just one "#" became an option array named
"#" with empty entries, very weird, fixed
1.20: - added an if(exists... to new() for checking of the
existence of -AllowMultiOptions.
- use now "local $_" because it caused weird results
if a user used $_ with the module.
1.19: - you can escape "#" characters using a backslash: "\#"
which will now no more treated as a comment.
- comments inside here-documents will now remain in the
here-doc value.
history logs 1.17+1.18 are lost in space :-(

Config::General - Generic Config Module
SYNOPSIS
use Config::General;
$conf = new Config::General(-ConfigFile => "myconfig.rc");
my %config = $conf->getall;
DESCRIPTION
This module opens a config file and parses it's 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 to apache configs, but
you can also just use simple name/value pairs in your config
files.
In addition to the capabilities of a 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.
INSTALLATION
to install, type:
perl Makefile.PL
make
make test
make install
to read the complete documentation, type:
perldoc Config::General
perldoc Config::General::Extended
perldoc Config::General::Interpolated
see some example config files which can
be parsed with Config::Genreal in the subdirectory
t/cfg.*
UPDATE
If you are updating from version 1.xx, you might be interested,
that some things in the API has changed, which might force you
to change your application code. These changes were necessary
to clean up the module interface. Now it has a consistent
"look and feel" and behaves more naturally. Therefore historic
remains were removed.
Here is a short list:
o it is no more possible to use Config::General::Extended
and Config::General::Interpolated directly. Instead use
Config::General and turn on -InterPolateVars and
-ExtendedAccess respectively.
o the method NoMultiOptions() is deprecated. Set the parameter
-AllowMultiOptions to false when calling new() to create
a new Config::General object.
o the method save() is deprecated. Use save_file() or
save_string() instead.
o the parameter -file is deprecated. Use -ConfigFile instead.
o the parameter -hash is deprecated. Use -ConfigHash instead.
For a more detailed explanation of changes refer to the Changelog.

=head1 NAME
Config::General - Generic Config Module
=head1 SYNOPSIS
#
# the OOP way
use Config::General;
$conf = Config::General->new("rcfile");
my %config = $conf->getall;
#
# the procedural way
use Config::General qw(ParseConfig SaveConfig SaveConfigString);
my %config = ParseConfig("rcfile");
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This module opens a config file and parses its contents for you. The B method
requires one parameter which needs to be a filename. The method B returns a hash
which contains all options and its associated values of your config file.
The format of config files supported by B is inspired by the well known Apache config
format, in fact, this module is 100% compatible to 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.
=head1 SUBROUTINES/METHODS
=over
=item new()
Possible ways to call B:
$conf = Config::General->new("rcfile");
$conf = Config::General->new(\%somehash);
$conf = Config::General->new( %options ); # see below for description of possible options
This method returns a B object (a hash blessed into "Config::General" namespace.
All further methods must be used from that returned object. see below.
You can use the new style with hash parameters or the old style which is of course
still supported. Possible parameters to B are:
* a filename of a configfile, which will be opened and parsed by the parser
or
* a hash reference, which will be used as the config.
An alternative way to call B is supplying an option- hash with one or more of
the following keys set:
=over
=item B<-ConfigFile>
A filename or a filehandle, i.e.:
-ConfigFile => "rcfile" or -ConfigFile => \$FileHandle
=item B<-ConfigHash>
A hash reference, which will be used as the config, i.e.:
-ConfigHash => \%somehash
=item B<-String>
A string which contains a whole config, or an arrayref
containing the whole config line by line.
The parser will parse the contents of the string instead
of a file. i.e:
-String => $complete_config
it is also possible to feed an array reference to -String:
-String => \@config_lines
=item B<-AllowMultiOptions>
If the value is "no", then multiple identical options are disallowed.
The default is "yes".
i.e.:
-AllowMultiOptions => "yes"
see B for details.
=item B<-LowerCaseNames>
If set to a true value, then all options found in the config will be converted
to lowercase. This allows you to provide case-in-sensitive configs. The
values of the options will B lowercased.
=item B<-UseApacheInclude>
If set to a true value, the parser will consider "include ..." as valid include
statement (just like the well known Apache include statement).
It also supports apache's "IncludeOptional" statement with the same behavior,
that is, if the include file doesn't exist no error will be thrown.
=item B<-IncludeRelative>
If set to a true value, included files with a relative path (i.e. "cfg/blah.conf")
will be opened from within the location of the configfile instead from within the
location of the script($0). This works only if the configfile has a absolute pathname
(i.e. "/etc/main.conf").
If the variable B<-ConfigPath> has been set and if the file to be included could
not be found in the location relative to the current config file, the module
will search within B<-ConfigPath> for the file. See the description of B<-ConfigPath>
for more details.
=item B<-IncludeDirectories>
If set to a true value, you may specify include a directory, in which case all
files inside the directory will be loaded in ASCII order. Directory includes
will not recurse into subdirectories. This is comparable to including a
directory in Apache-style config files.
=item B<-IncludeGlob>
If set to a true value, you may specify a glob pattern for an include to
include all matching files (e.g. <>). Also note that as
with standard file patterns, * will not match dot-files, so <>
is often more desirable than including a directory with B<-IncludeDirectories>.
An include option will not cause a parser error if the glob didn't return anything.
=item B<-IncludeAgain>
If set to a true value, you will be able to include a sub-configfile
multiple times. With the default, false, you will get a warning about
duplicate includes and only the first include will succeed.
Reincluding a configfile can be useful if it contains data that you want to
be present in multiple places in the data tree. See the example under
L.
Note, however, that there is currently no check for include recursion.
=item B<-ConfigPath>
As mentioned above, you can use this variable to specify a search path for relative
config files which have to be included. Config::General will search within this
path for the file if it cannot find the file at the location relative to the
current config file.
To provide multiple search paths you can specify an array reference for the
path. For example:
@path = qw(/usr/lib/perl /nfs/apps/lib /home/lib);
..
-ConfigPath => \@path
=item B<-MergeDuplicateBlocks>
If set to a true value, then duplicate blocks, that means blocks and named blocks,
will be merged into a single one (see below for more details on this).
The default behavior of Config::General is to create an array if some junk in a
config appears more than once.
=item B<-MergeDuplicateOptions>
If set to a true value, then duplicate options will be merged. That means, if the
same option occurs more than once, the last one will be used in the resulting
config hash.
Setting this option implies B<-AllowMultiOptions == false> unless you set
B<-AllowMultiOptions> explicit to 'true'. In this case duplicate blocks are
allowed and put into an array but duplicate options will be merged.
=item B<-AutoLaunder>
If set to a true value, then all values in your config file will be laundered
to allow them to be used under a -T taint flag. This could be regarded as circumventing
the purpose of the -T flag, however, if the bad guys can mess with your config file,
you have problems that -T will not be able to stop. AutoLaunder will only handle
a config file being read from -ConfigFile.
=item B<-AutoTrue>
If set to a true value, then options in your config file, whose values are set to
true or false values, will be normalised to 1 or 0 respectively.
The following values will be considered as B:
yes, on, 1, true
The following values will be considered as B:
no, off, 0, false
This effect is case-insensitive, i.e. both "Yes" or "No" will result in 1.
=item B<-FlagBits>
This option takes one required parameter, which must be a hash reference.
The supplied hash reference needs to define variables for which you
want to preset values. Each variable you have defined in this hash-ref
and which occurs in your config file, will cause this variable being
set to the preset values to which the value in the config file refers to.
Multiple flags can be used, separated by the pipe character |.
Well, an example will clarify things:
my $conf = Config::General->new(
-ConfigFile => "rcfile",
-FlagBits => {
Mode => {
CLEAR => 1,
STRONG => 1,
UNSECURE => "32bit" }
}
);
In this example we are defining a variable named I<"Mode"> which
may contain one or more of "CLEAR", "STRONG" and "UNSECURE" as value.
The appropriate config entry may look like this:
# rcfile
Mode = CLEAR | UNSECURE
The parser will create a hash which will be the value of the key "Mode". This
hash will contain B flags which you have pre-defined, but only those
which were set in the config will contain the pre-defined value, the other
ones will be undefined.
The resulting config structure would look like this after parsing:
%config = (
Mode => {
CLEAR => 1,
UNSECURE => "32bit",
STRONG => undef,
}
);
This method allows the user (or, the "maintainer" of the configfile for your
application) to set multiple pre-defined values for one option.
Please beware, that all occurrences of those variables will be handled this
way, there is no way to distinguish between variables in different scopes.
That means, if "Mode" would also occur inside a named block, it would
also parsed this way.
Values which are not defined in the hash-ref supplied to the parameter B<-FlagBits>
and used in the corresponding variable in the config will be ignored.
Example:
# rcfile
Mode = BLAH | CLEAR
would result in this hash structure:
%config = (
Mode => {
CLEAR => 1,
UNSECURE => undef,
STRONG => undef,
}
);
"BLAH" will be ignored silently.
=item B<-DefaultConfig>
This can be a hash reference or a simple scalar (string) of a config. This
causes the module to preset the resulting config hash with the given values,
which allows you to set default values for particular config options directly.
Note that you probably want to use this with B<-MergeDuplicateOptions>, otherwise
a default value already in the configuration file will produce an array of two
values.
=item B<-Tie>
B<-Tie> takes the name of a Tie class as argument that each new hash should be
based off of.
This hash will be used as the 'backing hash' instead of a standard Perl hash,
which allows you to affect the way, variable storing will be done. You could, for
example supply a tied hash, say Tie::DxHash, which preserves ordering of the
keys in the config (which a standard Perl hash won't do). Or, you could supply
a hash tied to a DBM file to save the parsed variables to disk.
There are many more things to do in tie-land, see L to get some interesting
ideas.
If you want to use the B<-Tie> feature together with B<-DefaultConfig> make sure
that the hash supplied to B<-DefaultConfig> must be tied to the same Tie class.
Make sure that the hash which receives the generated hash structure (e.g. which
you are using in the assignment: %hash = $config->getall()) must be tied to
the same Tie class.
Example:
use Config::General qw(ParseConfig);
use Tie::IxHash;
tie my %hash, "Tie::IxHash";
%hash = ParseConfig(
-ConfigFile => shift(),
-Tie => "Tie::IxHash"
);
=item B<-InterPolateVars>
If set to a true value, variable interpolation will be done on your config
input. See L for more information.
=item B<-InterPolateEnv>
If set to a true value, environment variables can be used in
configs.
This implies B<-InterPolateVars>.
=item B<-AllowSingleQuoteInterpolation>
By default variables inside single quotes will not be interpolated. If
you turn on this option, they will be interpolated as well.
=item B<-ExtendedAccess>
If set to a true value, you can use object oriented (extended) methods to
access the parsed config. See L for more information.
=item B<-StrictObjects>
By default this is turned on, which causes Config::General to croak with an
error if you try to access a non-existent key using the OOP-way (B<-ExtendedAcess>
enabled). If you turn B<-StrictObjects> off (by setting to 0 or "no") it will
just return an empty object/hash/scalar. This is valid for OOP-access 8via AUTOLOAD
and for the methods obj(), hash() and value().
=item B<-StrictVars>
By default this is turned on, which causes Config::General to croak with an
error if an undefined variable with B turned on occurs
in a config. Set to I (i.e. 0) to avoid such error messages.
=item B<-SplitPolicy>
You can influence the way how Config::General decides which part of a line
in a config file is the key and which one is the value. By default it tries
its best to guess. That means you can mix equalsign assignments and whitespace
assignments.
However, sometime you may wish to make it more strictly for some reason. In
this case you can set B<-SplitPolicy>. The possible values are: 'guess' which
is the default, 'whitespace' which causes the module to split by whitespace,
'equalsign' which causes it to split strictly by equal sign, or 'custom'. In the
latter case you must also set B<-SplitDelimiter> to some regular expression
of your choice. For example:
-SplitDelimiter => '\s*:\s*'
will cause the module to split by colon while whitespace which surrounds
the delimiter will be removed.
Please note that the delimiter used when saving a config (save_file() or save_string())
will be chosen according to the current B<-SplitPolicy>. If -SplitPolicy is
set to 'guess' or 'whitespace', 3 spaces will be used to delimit saved
options. If 'custom' is set, then you need to set B<-StoreDelimiter>.
=item B<-SplitDelimiter>
Set this to any arbitrary regular expression which will be used for option/value
splitting. B<-SplitPolicy> must be set to 'custom' to make this work.
=item B<-StoreDelimiter>
You can use this parameter to specify a custom delimiter to use when saving
configs to a file or string. You only need to set it if you want to store
the config back to disk and if you have B<-SplitPolicy> set to 'custom'.
However, this parameter takes precedence over whatever is set for B<-SplitPolicy>.
Be very careful with this parameter.
=item B<-CComments>
Config::General is able to notice c-style comments (see section COMMENTS).
But for some reason you might no need this. In this case you can turn
this feature off by setting B<-CComments> to a false value('no', 0, 'off').
By default B<-CComments> is turned on.
=item B<-BackslashEscape>
B.
=item B<-SlashIsDirectory>
If you turn on this parameter, a single slash as the last character
of a named block will be considered as a directory name.
By default this flag is turned off, which makes the module somewhat
incompatible to Apache configs, since such a setup will be normally
considered as an explicit empty block, just as XML defines it.
For example, if you have the following config:
Index index.awk
However, a raw apache config comes without such quotes. In this
case you may consider to turn on B<-SlashIsDirectory>.
Please note that this is a new option (incorporated in version 2.30),
it may lead to various unexpected side effects or other failures.
You've been warned.
=item B<-UseApacheIfDefine>
Enables support for Apache ... . See -Define.
=item B<-Define>
Defines the symbols to be used for conditional configuration files.
Allowed arguments: scalar, scalar ref, array ref or hash ref.
Examples:
-Define => 'TEST'
-Define => \$testOrProduction
-Define => [qw(TEST VERBOSE)]
-Define => {TEST => 1, VERBOSE => 1}
Sample configuration:
Level Debug
include test/*.cfg
Level Notice
include production/*.cfg
=item B<-ApacheCompatible>
Over the past years a lot of options has been incorporated
into Config::General to be able to parse real Apache configs.
The new B<-ApacheCompatible> option now makes it possible to
tweak all options in a way that Apache configs can be parsed.
This is called "apache compatibility mode" - if you will ever
have problems with parsing Apache configs without this option
being set, you'll get no help by me. Thanks :)
The following options will be set:
UseApacheInclude = 1
IncludeRelative = 1
IncludeDirectories = 1
IncludeGlob = 1
SlashIsDirectory = 1
SplitPolicy = 'whitespace'
CComments = 0
UseApacheIfDefine = 1
Take a look into the particular documentation sections what
those options are doing.
Beside setting some options it also turns off support for
explicit empty blocks.
=item B<-UTF8>
If turned on, all files will be opened in utf8 mode. This may
not work properly with older versions of Perl.
=item B<-SaveSorted>
If you want to save configs in a sorted manner, turn this
parameter on. It is not enabled by default.
=item B<-NoEscape>
If you want to use the data ( scalar or final leaf ) without escaping special character, turn this
parameter on. It is not enabled by default.
=item B<-NormalizeBlock>
Takes a subroutine reference as parameter and gets the current
block or blockname passed as parameter and is expected to return
it in some altered way as a scalar string. The sub will be called
before anything else will be done by the module itself (e.g. interpolation).
Example:
-NormalizeBlock => sub { my $x = shift; $x =~ s/\s*$//; $x; }
This removes trailing whitespaces of block names.
=item B<-NormalizeOption>
Same as B<-NormalizeBlock> but applied on options only.
=item B<-NormalizeValue>
Same as B<-NormalizeBlock> but applied on values only.
=item B<-AlwaysQuoteOutput>
If set to true, then values containing whitespace will always quoted
when calling C or C.
=back
=item getall()
Returns a hash structure which represents the whole config.
=item files()
Returns a list of all files read in.
=item save_file()
Writes the config hash back to the hard disk. This method takes one or two
parameters. The first parameter must be the filename where the config
should be written to. The second parameter is optional, it must be a
reference to a hash structure, if you set it. If you do not supply this second parameter
then the internal config hash, which has already been parsed, will be
used.
Please note that any occurrence of comments will be ignored by getall()
and thus be lost after you call this method.
You need also to know that named blocks will be converted to nested blocks
(which is the same from the perl point of view). An example:
id 13
will become the following after saving:
id 13
Example:
$conf_obj->save_file("newrcfile", \%config);
or, if the config has already been parsed, or if it didn't change:
$conf_obj->save_file("newrcfile");
=item save_string()
This method is equivalent to the previous save_file(), but it does not
store the generated config to a file. Instead it returns it as a string,
which you can save yourself afterwards.
It takes one optional parameter, which must be a reference to a hash structure.
If you omit this parameter, the internal config hash, which has already been parsed,
will be used.
Example:
my $content = $conf_obj->save_string(\%config);
or:
my $content = $conf_obj->save_string();
=back
=head1 CONFIG FILE FORMAT
Lines beginning with B<#> and empty lines will be ignored. (see section COMMENTS!)
Spaces at the beginning and the end of a line will also be ignored as well as tabulators.
If you need spaces at the end or the beginning of a value you can surround it with
double quotes.
An option line starts with its name followed by a value. An equal sign is optional.
Some possible examples:
user max
user = max
user max
If there are more than one statements with the same name, it will create an array
instead of a scalar. See the example below.
The method B returns a hash of all values.
=head1 BLOCKS
You can define a B of options. A B looks much like a block
in the wellknown Apache config format. It starts with EBE and ends
with E/BE.
A block start and end cannot be on the same line.
An example:
host = muli
user = moare
dbname = modb
dbpass = D4r_9Iu
Blocks can also be nested. Here is a more complicated example:
user = hans
server = mc200
db = maxis
passwd = D3rf$
user = tom
db = unknown
host = mila
index int(100000)
name char(100)
prename char(100)
city char(100)
status int(10)
allowed moses
allowed ingram
allowed joice
The hash which the method B returns look like that:
print Data::Dumper(\%hash);
$VAR1 = {
'passwd' => 'D3rf$',
'jonas' => {
'tablestructure' => {
'prename' => 'char(100)',
'index' => 'int(100000)',
'city' => 'char(100)',
'name' => 'char(100)',
'status' => 'int(10)',
'allowed' => [
'moses',
'ingram',
'joice',
]
},
'host' => 'mila',
'db' => 'unknown',
'user' => 'tom'
},
'db' => 'maxis',
'server' => 'mc200',
'user' => 'hans'
};
If you have turned on B<-LowerCaseNames> (see new()) then blocks as in the
following example:
Owner root
would produce the following hash structure:
$VAR1 = {
'dir' => {
'attributes' => {
'owner' => "root",
}
}
};
As you can see, the keys inside the config hash are normalized.
Please note, that the above config block would result in a
valid hash structure, even if B<-LowerCaseNames> is not set!
This is because I does not
use the block names to check if a block ends, instead it uses an internal
state counter, which indicates a block end.
If the module cannot find an end-block statement, then this block will be ignored.
=head1 NAMED BLOCKS
If you need multiple blocks of the same name, then you have to name every block.
This works much like Apache config. If the module finds a named block, it will
create a hashref with the left part of the named block as the key containing
one or more hashrefs with the right part of the block as key containing everything
inside the block(which may again be nested!). As examples says more than words:
# given the following sample
Limit Deny
Options ExecCgi Index
Limit DenyAll
Options None
# you will get:
$VAR1 = {
'Directory' => {
'/usr/frik' => {
'Options' => 'None',
'Limit' => 'DenyAll'
},
'/usr/frisco' => {
'Options' => 'ExecCgi Index',
'Limit' => 'Deny'
}
}
};
You cannot have more than one named block with the same name because it will
be stored in a hashref and therefore be overwritten if a block occurs once more.
=head1 WHITESPACE IN BLOCKS
The normal behavior of Config::General is to look for whitespace in
block names to decide if it's a named block or just a simple block.
Sometimes you may need blocknames which have whitespace in their names.
With named blocks this is no problem, as the module only looks for the
first whitespace:
would be parsed to:
$VAR1 = {
'person' => {
'hugo gera' => {
},
}
};
The problem occurs, if you want to have a simple block containing whitespace:
This would be parsed as a named block, which is not what you wanted. In this
very case you may use quotation marks to indicate that it is not a named block:
<"hugo gera">
The save() method of the module inserts automatically quotation marks in such
cases.
=head1 EXPLICIT EMPTY BLOCKS
Beside the notation of blocks mentioned above it is possible to use
explicit empty blocks.
Normally you would write this in your config to define an empty
block:
To save writing you can also write:
user max
user hannes
then you would end up with a data structure like this:
$VAR1 = {
'dir' => {
'blah' => [
{
'user' => 'max'
},
{
'user' => 'hannes'
}
]
}
};
As you can see, the two identical blocks are stored in a hash which contains
an array(-reference) of hashes.
Under some rare conditions you might not want this behavior with blocks (and
named blocks too). If you want to get one single hash with the contents of
both identical blocks, then you need to turn the B parameter B<-MergeDuplicateBlocks>
on (see above). The parsed structure of the example above would then look like
this:
$VAR1 = {
'dir' => {
'blah' => {
'user' => [
'max',
'hannes'
]
}
}
};
As you can see, there is only one hash "dir->{blah}" containing multiple
"user" entries. As you can also see, turning on B<-MergeDuplicateBlocks>
does not affect scalar options (i.e. "option = value"). In fact you can
tune merging of duplicate blocks and options independent from each other.
If you don't want to allow more than one identical options, you may turn it off
by setting the flag I in the B method to "no".
If turned off, Config::General will complain about multiple occurring options
with identical names!
=head2 FORCE SINGLE VALUE ARRAYS
You may also force a single config line to get parsed into an array by
turning on the option B<-ForceArray> and by surrounding the value of the
config entry by []. Example:
hostlist = [ foo.bar ]
Will be a singlevalue array entry if the option is turned on. If you want
it to remain to be an array you have to turn on B<-ForceArray> during save too.
=head1 LONG LINES
If you have a config value, which is too long and would take more than one line,
you can break it into multiple lines by using the backslash character at the end
of the line. The Config::General module will concatenate those lines to one single-value.
Example:
command = cat /var/log/secure/tripwire | \
mail C<-s> "report from tripwire" \
honey@myotherhost.nl
command will become:
"cat /var/log/secure/tripwire | mail C<-s> 'report from twire' honey@myotherhost.nl"
=head1 HERE DOCUMENTS
You can also define a config value as a so called "here-document". You must tell
the module an identifier which indicates the end of a here document. An
identifier must follow a "<<".
Example:
message <.
There is a special feature which allows you to use indentation with here documents.
You can have any amount of whitespace or tabulators in front of the end
identifier. If the module finds spaces or tabs then it will remove exactly those
amount of spaces from every line inside the here-document.
Example:
message <>
If you turned on B<-UseApacheInclude> (see B), then you can also use the following
statement to include an external file:
include externalconfig.rc
This file will be inserted at the position where it was found as if the contents of this file
were directly at this position.
You can also recursively include files, so an included file may include another one and so on.
Beware that you do not recursively load the same file, you will end with an error message like
"too many open files in system!".
By default included files with a relative pathname will be opened from within the current
working directory. Under some circumstances it maybe possible to
open included files from the directory, where the configfile resides. You need to turn on
the option B<-IncludeRelative> (see B) if you want that. An example:
my $conf = Config::General(
-ConfigFile => "/etc/crypt.d/server.cfg"
-IncludeRelative => 1
);
/etc/crypt.d/server.cfg:
<>
In this example Config::General will try to include I from I:
/etc/crypt.d/acl.cfg
The default behavior (if B<-IncludeRelative> is B set!) will be to open just I,
wherever it is, i.e. if you did a chdir("/usr/local/etc"), then Config::General will include:
/usr/local/etc/acl.cfg
Include statements can be case insensitive (added in version 1.25).
Include statements will be ignored within C-Comments and here-documents.
By default, a config file will only be included the first time it is
referenced. If you wish to include a file in multiple places, set
B to true. But be warned: this may lead to infinite loops,
so make sure, you're not including the same file from within itself!
Example:
# main.cfg
class=Some::Class
include printers.cfg
# ...
class=Another::Class
include printers.cfg
# ...
Now C will be include in both the C and C objects.
You will have to be careful to not recursively include a file. Behaviour
in this case is undefined.
=head1 COMMENTS
A comment starts with the number sign B<#>, there can be any number of spaces and/or
tab stops in front of the #.
A comment can also occur after a config statement. Example:
username = max # this is the comment
If you want to comment out a large block you can use C-style comments. A B signals
the begin of a comment block and the B<*/> signals the end of the comment block.
Example:
user = max # valid option
db = tothemax
/*
user = andors
db = toand
*/
In this example the second options of user and db will be ignored. Please beware of the fact,
if the Module finds a B string which is the start of a comment block, but no matching
end block, it will ignore the whole rest of the config file!
B If you require the B<#> character (number sign) to remain in the option value, then
you can use a backslash in front of it, to escape it. Example:
bgcolor = \#ffffcc
In this example the value of $config{bgcolor} will be "#ffffcc", Config::General will not treat
the number sign as the begin of a comment because of the leading backslash.
Inside here-documents escaping of number signs is NOT required!
=head1 PARSER PLUGINS
You can alter the behavior of the parser by supplying closures
which will be called on certain hooks during config file processing
and parsing.
The general aproach works like this:
sub ck {
my($file, $base) = @_;
print "_open() tries $file ... ";
if ($file =~ /blah/) {
print "ignored\n";
return (0);
} else {
print "allowed\n";
return (1, @_);
}
}
my %c = ParseConfig(
-IncludeGlob => 1,
-UseApacheInclude => 1,
-ConfigFile => shift,
-Plug => { pre_open => *ck }
);
Output:
_open() tries cfg ... allowed
_open() tries x/*.conf ... allowed
_open() tries x/1.conf ... allowed
_open() tries x/2.conf ... allowed
_open() tries x/blah.conf ... ignored
As you can see, we wrote a little sub which takes a filename
and a base directory as parameters. We tell Config::General via
the B parameter of B to call this sub everytime
before it attempts to open a file.
General processing continues as usual if the first value of
the returned array is true. The second value of that array
depends on the kind of hook being called.
The following hooks are available so far:
=over
=item B
Takes two parameters: filename and basedirectory.
Has to return an array consisting of 3 values:
- 1 or 0 (continue processing or not)
- filename
- base directory
=item B
Takes two parameters: the filehandle of the file to be read
and an array containing the raw contents of said file.
This hook will be applied in _read(). File contents are already
available at this stage, comments will be removed, here-docs normalized
and the like. This hook gets the unaltered, original contents.
Has to return an array of 3 values:
- 1 or 0 (continue processing or not)
- the filehandle
- an array of strings
You can use this hook to apply your own normalizations or whatever.
Be careful when returning the abort value (1st value of returned array 0),
since in this case nothing else would be done on the contents. If it still
contains comments or something, they will be parsed as legal config options.
=item B
Takes one parameter: a reference to an array containing the prepared
config lines (after being processed by _read()).
This hook will be applied in _read() when everything else has been done.
Has to return an array of 2 values:
- 1 or 0 (continue processing or not) [Ignored for post hooks]
- a reference to an array containing the config lines
=item B
Takes 2 parameters: an option name and its value.
This hook will be applied in _parse_value() before any processing.
Has to return an array of 3 values:
- 1 or 0 (continue processing or not)
- option name
- value of the option
=item B
Almost identical to pre_parse_value, but will be applied after _parse_value()
is finished and all usual processing and normalization is done.
=back
Not implemented yet: hooks for variable interpolation and block
parsing.
=head1 OBJECT ORIENTED INTERFACE
There is a way to access a parsed config the OO-way.
Use the module B, which is
supplied with the Config::General distribution.
=head1 VARIABLE INTERPOLATION
You can use variables inside your config files if you like. To do
that you have to use the module B,
which is supplied with the Config::General distribution.
=head1 EXPORTED FUNCTIONS
Config::General exports some functions too, which makes it somewhat
easier to use it, if you like this.
How to import the functions:
use Config::General qw(ParseConfig SaveConfig SaveConfigString);
=over
=item B
This function takes exactly all those parameters, which are
allowed to the B method of the standard interface.
Example:
use Config::General qw(ParseConfig);
my %config = ParseConfig(-ConfigFile => "rcfile", -AutoTrue => 1);
=item B
This function requires two arguments, a filename and a reference
to a hash structure.
Example:
use Config::General qw(SaveConfig);
..
SaveConfig("rcfile", \%some_hash);
=item B
This function requires a reference to a config hash as parameter.
It generates a configuration based on this hash as the object-interface
method B does.
Example:
use Config::General qw(ParseConfig SaveConfigString);
my %config = ParseConfig(-ConfigFile => "rcfile");
.. # change %config something
my $content = SaveConfigString(\%config);
=back

=head1 DESCRIPTION
This Perl module implements Perl hashes that preserve the order in which the
hash elements were added. The order is not affected when values
corresponding to existing keys in the IxHash are changed. The elements can
also be set to any arbitrary supplied order. The familiar perl array
operations can also be performed on the IxHash.
=head2 Standard C Interface
The standard C mechanism is available. This interface is
recommended for simple uses, since the usage is exactly the same as
regular Perl hashes after the C is declared.
=head2 Object Interface
This module also provides an extended object-oriented interface that can be
used for more powerful operations with the IxHash. The following methods
are available:
=over 8
=item FETCH, STORE, DELETE, EXISTS
These standard C methods mandated by Perl can be used directly.
See the C entry in perlfunc(1) for details.
=item Push, Pop, Shift, Unshift, Splice
These additional methods resembling Perl functions are available for
operating on key-value pairs in the IxHash. The behavior is the same as the
corresponding perl functions, except when a supplied hash key already exists
in the hash. In that case, the existing value is updated but its order is
not affected. To unconditionally alter the order of a supplied key-value
pair, first C the IxHash element.
=item Keys
Returns an array of IxHash element keys corresponding to the list of supplied
indices. Returns an array of all the keys if called without arguments.
Note the return value is mostly only useful when used in a list context
(since perl will convert it to the number of elements in the array when
used in a scalar context, and that may not be very useful).
If a single argument is given, returns the single key corresponding to
the index. This is usable in either scalar or list context.
=item Values
Returns an array of IxHash element values corresponding to the list of supplied
indices. Returns an array of all the values if called without arguments.
Note the return value is mostly only useful when used in a list context
(since perl will convert it to the number of elements in the array when
used in a scalar context, and that may not be very useful).
If a single argument is given, returns the single value corresponding to
the index. This is usable in either scalar or list context.
=item Indices
Returns an array of indices corresponding to the supplied list of keys.
Note the return value is mostly only useful when used in a list context
(since perl will convert it to the number of elements in the array when
used in a scalar context, and that may not be very useful).
If a single argument is given, returns the single index corresponding to
the key. This is usable in either scalar or list context.
=item Delete
Removes elements with the supplied keys from the IxHash.
=item Replace
Substitutes the IxHash element at the specified index with the supplied
value-key pair. If a key is not supplied, simply substitutes the value at
index with the supplied value. If an element with the supplied key already
exists, it will be removed from the IxHash first.
=item Reorder
This method can be used to manipulate the internal order of the IxHash
elements by supplying a list of keys in the desired order. Note however,
that any IxHash elements whose keys are not in the list will be removed from
the IxHash.
=item Length
Returns the number of IxHash elements.
=item SortByKey
Reorders the IxHash elements by textual comparison of the keys.
=item SortByValue
Reorders the IxHash elements by textual comparison of the values.

=head1 EXAMPLE
use Tie::IxHash;
# simple interface
$t = tie(%myhash, Tie::IxHash, 'a' => 1, 'b' => 2);
%myhash = (first => 1, second => 2, third => 3);
$myhash{fourth} = 4;
@keys = keys %myhash;
@values = values %myhash;
print("y") if exists $myhash{third};
# OO interface
$t = Tie::IxHash->new(first => 1, second => 2, third => 3);
$t->Push(fourth => 4); # same as $myhash{'fourth'} = 4;
($k, $v) = $t->Pop; # $k is 'fourth', $v is 4
$t->Unshift(neg => -1, zeroth => 0);
($k, $v) = $t->Shift; # $k is 'neg', $v is -1
@oneandtwo = $t->Splice(1, 2, foo => 100, bar => 101);
@keys = $t->Keys;
@values = $t->Values;
@indices = $t->Indices('foo', 'zeroth');
@itemkeys = $t->Keys(@indices);
@itemvals = $t->Values(@indices);
$t->Replace(2, 0.3, 'other');
$t->Delete('second', 'zeroth');
$len = $t->Length; # number of key-value pairs
$t->Reorder(reverse @keys);
$t->SortByKey;
$t->SortByValue;
=head1 BUGS
You cannot specify a negative length to C. Negative indexes are OK,
though.
Indexing always begins at 0 (despite the current C<$[> setting) for
all the functions.
=head1 TODO
Addition of elements with keys that already exist to the end of the IxHash
must be controlled by a switch.
Provide C interface when it stabilizes in Perl.
Rewrite using XSUBs for efficiency.

=head1 NAME
Config::General::Interpolated - Parse variables within Config files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Config::General;
$conf = Config::General->new(
-ConfigFile => 'configfile',
-InterPolateVars => 1
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an internal module which makes it possible to interpolate
Perl style variables in your config file (i.e. C<$variable>
or C<${variable}>).
Normally you don't call it directly.
=head1 VARIABLES
Variables can be defined everywhere in the config and can be used
afterwards as the value of an option. Variables cannot be used as
keys or as part of keys.
If you define a variable inside
a block or a named block then it is only visible within this block or
within blocks which are defined inside this block. Well - let's take a
look to an example:
# sample config which uses variables
basedir = /opt/ora
user = t_space
sys = unix
instance = INTERN
owner = $user # "t_space"
logdir = $basedir/log # "/opt/ora/log"
sys = macos
misc1 = ${sys}_${instance} # macos_INTERN
misc2 = $user # "t_space"
This will result in the following structure:
{
'basedir' => '/opt/ora',
'user' => 't_space'
'sys' => 'unix',
'table' => {
'intern' => {
'sys' => 'macos',
'logdir' => '/opt/ora/log',
'instance' => 'INTERN',
'owner' => 't_space',
'procs' => {
'misc1' => 'macos_INTERN',
'misc2' => 't_space'
}
}
}
As you can see, the variable B has been defined twice. Inside
the block a variable ${sys} has been used, which then were
interpolated into the value of B defined inside the
block, not the sys variable one level above. If sys were not defined
inside the block then the "global" variable B would have
been used instead with the value of "unix".
Variables inside double quotes will be interpolated, but variables
inside single quotes will B interpolated. This is the same
behavior as you know of Perl itself.
In addition you can surround variable names with curly braces to
avoid misinterpretation by the parser.
=head1 NAMING CONVENTIONS
Variable names must:
=over
=item * start with a US-ASCII letter(a-z or A-Z) or a digit (0-9).
=item * contain only US-ASCII letter(a-z or A-Z), digits (0-9), the dash (-)
colon (:), dot (.), underscore (_) and plus (+) characters.
=back
For added clarity variable names can be surrounded by curly braces.

=head1 NAME
Config::General::Extended - Extended access to Config files
=head1 SYNOPSIS
use Config::General;
$conf = Config::General->new(
-ConfigFile => 'configfile',
-ExtendedAccess => 1
);
=head1 DESCRIPTION
This is an internal module which makes it possible to use object
oriented methods to access parts of your config file.
Normally you don't call it directly.
=head1 METHODS
=over
=item configfile('filename')
Set the filename to be used by B to "filename". It returns the current
configured filename if called without arguments.
=item obj('key')
Returns a new object (of Config::General::Extended Class) from the given key.
Short example:
Assume you have the following config:
age 23
age 56
blah blubber
blah gobble
leer
and already read it in using B, then you can get a
new object from the "individual" block this way:
$individual = $conf->obj("individual");
Now if you call B on I<$individual> (just for reference) you would get:
$VAR1 = (
martin => { age => 13 }
);
Or, here is another use:
my $individual = $conf->obj("individual");
foreach my $person ($conf->keys("individual")) {
$man = $individual->obj($person);
print "$person is " . $man->value("age") . " years old\n";
}
See the discussion on B and B below.
If the key from which you want to create a new object is empty, an empty
object will be returned. If you run the following on the above config:
$obj = $conf->obj("other")->obj("leer");
Then $obj will be empty, just like if you have had run this:
$obj = Config::General::Extended->new( () );
Read operations on this empty object will return nothing or even fail.
But you can use an empty object for I a new config using write
operations, i.e.:
$obj->someoption("value");
See the discussion on B below.
If the key points to a list of hashes, a list of objects will be
returned. Given the following example config:
name = max
name = bea
you could write code like this to access the list the OOP way:
my $objlist = $conf->obj("option");
foreach my $option (@{$objlist}) {
print $option->name;
}
Please note that the list will be returned as a reference to an array.
Empty elements or non-hash elements of the list, if any, will be skipped.
=item hash('key')
This method returns a hash(if it B one!) from the config which is referenced by
"key". Given the sample config above you would get:
my %sub_hash = $conf->hash("individual");
print Dumper(\%sub_hash);
$VAR1 = {
martin => { age => 13 }
};
=item array('key')
This the equivalent of B mentioned above, except that it returns an array.
Again, we use the sample config mentioned above:
$other = $conf->obj("other");
my @blahs = $other->array("blah");
print Dumper(\@blahs);
$VAR1 = [ "blubber", "gobble" ];
=item value('key')
This method returns the scalar value of a given key. Given the following sample
config:
name = arthur
age = 23
you could do something like that:
print $conf->value("name") . " is " . $conf->value("age") . " years old\n";
You can use this method also to set the value of "key" to something if you give over
a hash reference, array reference or a scalar in addition to the key. An example:
$conf->value("key", \%somehash);
# or
$conf->value("key", \@somearray);
# or
$conf->value("key", $somescalar);
Please note, that this method does not complain about existing values within "key"!
=item is_hash('key') is_array('key') is_scalar('key')
As seen above, you can access parts of your current config using hash, array or scalar
methods. But you are right if you guess, that this might become problematic, if
for example you call B on a key which is in real not a hash but a scalar. Under
normal circumstances perl would refuse this and die.
To avoid such behavior you can use one of the methods is_hash() is_array() is_scalar() to
check if the value of "key" is really what you expect it to be.
An example(based on the config example from above):
if($conf->is_hash("individual") {
$individual = $conf->obj("individual");
}
else {
die "You need to configure a "individual" block!\n";
}
=item exists('key')
This method returns just true if the given key exists in the config.
=item keys('key')
Returns an array of the keys under the specified "key". If you use the example
config above you could do that:
print Dumper($conf->keys("individual");
$VAR1 = [ "martin", "joseph" ];
If no key name was supplied, then the keys of the object itself will be returned.
You can use this method in B loops as seen in an example above(obj() ).
=item delete('key')
This method removes the given key and all associated data from the internal
hash structure. If 'key' contained data, then this data will be returned,
otherwise undef will be returned.
=item find(@list)
Given a list of nodes, ->find will search for a tree that branches in
just this way, returning the Config::General::Extended object it finds
at the bottom if it exists. You can also search partway down the tree
and ->find should return where you left off.
For example, given the values B and the following
tree ( tags omitted for brevity):
...
...
BAR = shoo
B will find the object at I with the value BAR = shoo and
return it.
=back
=head1 AUTOLOAD METHODS
Another useful feature is implemented in this class using the B feature
of perl. If you know the keynames of a block within your config, you can access to
the values of each individual key using the method notation. See the following example
and you will get it:
We assume the following config:
name = Moser
prename = Peter
birth = 12.10.1972
Now we read it in and process it:
my $conf = Config::General::Extended->new("configfile");
my $person = $conf->obj("person");
print $person->prename . " " . $person->name . " is " . $person->age . " years old\n";
This notation supports only scalar values! You need to make sure, that the block
does not contain any subblock or multiple identical options(which will become
an array after parsing)!
If you access a non-existent key this way, Config::General will croak an error.
You can turn this behavior off by setting B<-StrictObjects> to 0 or "no". In
this case undef will be returned.
Of course you can use this kind of methods for writing data too:
$person->name("Neustein");
This changes the value of the "name" key to "Neustein". This feature behaves exactly like
B, which means you can assign hash or array references as well and that existing
values under the given key will be overwritten.
