Catalyst::Plugin::Setenv - Allows you to set up the environment from Catalyst's config file.
Version 0.03
In your application:
use Catalyst qw/Setenv/;
In your config file:
environment: FOO: bar BAR: baz
When your app starts, $ENV{FOO} will be "bar", and $ENV{BAR} will be "baz".
$ENV{FOO}
$ENV{BAR}
You can also append and prepend to existing environment variables. For example, if $PATH is /bin:/usr/bin, you can append /myapp/bin by writing:
$PATH
/bin:/usr/bin
/myapp/bin
environment: PATH: "::/myapp/bin"
After that, $PATH will be set to /bin:/usr/bin:/myapp/bin. You can prepend, too:
/bin:/usr/bin:/myapp/bin
environment: PATH: "/myapp/bin::"
which yields /myapp/bin:/bin:/usr/bin.
/myapp/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
If you want a literal colon at the beginning or end of the environment variable, escape it with a \, like \:foo or foo\:. Note that slashes aren't meaningful elsewhere, they're inserted verbatim into the relevant environment variable.
\
\:foo
foo\:
A list of functions that can be exported. You can delete this section if you don't export anything, such as for a purely object-oriented module.
Calls the other setup methods, and then sets the environment variables.

Things like "\:foo" can't be literally inserted into an environment variable, due to my simplistic escaping scheme. Patches to fix this (but not interpert \s anywhere else) are welcome.
