VERSION

version 0.016

SYNOPSIS

use Env::Dot::Functions qw( get_dotenv_vars interpret_dotenv_filepath_var );
# or
use Env::Dot::Functions ':all';

DESCRIPTION

This package just contains functions for use in the main package Env::Dot and in the command line tool envdot.

STATUS

This module is currently being developed so changes in the API are possible, though not likely.

FUNCTIONS

No functions are automatically exported to the calling namespace.

get_dotenv_vars(@)

Return all variables from the .env file as a list of hashes (name/value pairs). This list is created in the same order the variables are read from the files and may therefore contain the same variable several times.

The files, however, are read in reversed order, just like paths in variable PATH are used.

Arguments:

  • filepaths, list of dotenv filepaths.

If a file does not exist, we break the execution.

interpret_dotenv_filepath_var( $filepaths )

Return a list of file paths.

get_envdot_filepaths_var_name

Return the name of the environment variable which user can use to specify the paths of .env files.

extract_error_msg

Extract the elements of error message (exception): err, line and filepath.

create_error_msg

create an error message (exception) from the three elements: err, line and filepath.
