Config/Abstract version 0.15 ============================ Config::Abstract is not supposed to be used directly, but rather as the base class for a bundle of file format specific classes sharing the internal representation of the file data that lets us perform a bunch of operations on that data, such as converting files from one format to any other format, creating diffs between config files of different formats, patching files based on keys-values, rather than line numbers and so on. STATUS Since this is work in the early stages of development and I don't have the resources or the time to model this properly, the interface is likely to change every now and then. Most notably I am currently reworking the accessor / mutator methods to use a 'path-based' name- space, which allows arbitrary depth of nesting in the handled config data. INSTALLATION To install this module type the following: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DEPENDENCIES This module requires these other modules and libraries: Data::Dumper CREDITS I want to thank my mum, God and swedish education for getting me desperate enough to embark on an endeavour such as this. Seriously, I'd like to thank my fellow developers here at CNET Networks UK for valuable input and feedback that has been key to much of this code, even though none of them have contributed any actual code, yet :). I especially want to thank James Cohen and Aidan Fitzpatrick for being such code freaks. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE Copyright (C) 2003-2007 Eddie Olsson
