NAME

DB::SimpleKV - Simple k/v interface to text configuration file

VERSION

Version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

This module is mainly used to manipulate a configuration file like Postfix's main.cf

It creates the default db file under "/tmp/simplekv.db".

    use DB::SimpleKV;

    my $db = DB::SimpleKV->new;
    $db->set("hostname","h99.foo.com");
    $db->set("provider","rackspace cloud");
    $db->set("ip_addr","192.168.2.10");
    $db->set("netmask","255.255.255.0");

    print $db->get("provider"),"\n";
    $db->delete("netmask");
    print  "netmask exists? ", $db->exists("netmask") ? "yes" : "no", "\n";

Or you can specify the existing file for manipulation, one configuration per line, with '=' as delimiter.

    use DB::SimpleKV;

    my $db = DB::SimpleKV->new("/etc/postfix/main.cf");
    print $db->get("relayhost"),"\n";
    print  "relay exists? ", $db->exists("relayhost") ? "yes" : "no", "\n";
