NAME

WWW::Link_Controller::ReadConf - Read LinkController configuration files.

SYNOPSIS

use WWW::Link_Controller::ReadConf;
print $::links;

DESCRIPTION

This moduleis a way of reading the config file into each of the LinkController programs. All it does is require a file.

/etc/link-control.pl

followed by

$ENV{"HOME"} . "/.link-control.pl"

but that works for now.

In order to avoid reading the home directory, unset the $ENV{"HOME"} variable.
