NAME

Config::Properties::Simple - Perl extension to manage properties files.

SYNOPSIS

ABSTRACT

Wrapper around Config::Properties to simplify its use.

DESCRIPTION

This package mix functionality in Config::Properties and Config::Find packages to provide a simple access to configuration files.

It changes new and save methods of Config::Properties (every other method continues to work as usual):

Config::Properties::Simple->new(%opts)

creates a new Config::Properties::Simple object and reads on the configuration file determined by the options passed through %opts.

The supported ptions are:

defaults => {...}

hash reference containing default values for the configuration keys (equivalent to defaultProperties field in the original Config::Properties::new constructor).

noread => 1

stops properties for being read from a file.

format => $format

equivalent to calling setFormat method.

In addition, any option accepted by Config::Find is also allowed here.

$this->save(%opts)

creates a new configuration file with the properties defined in the object.

%opts are passed to Config::Find to determine the configuration file name and location.

EXPORT

None, this package is OO.
