perl-Config-General-2.40-1.el5
• Group: Development/Libraries
• Summary: Generic configuration module for Perl
• Description:
This module opens a config file and parses it's contents for
you. After parsing the module returns a hash structure which contains
the representation of the config file.
The format of config files supported by Config::General is inspired by
the well known apache config format, in fact, this module is 100%
read-compatible to apache configs, but you can also just use simple
name/value pairs in your config files.
In addition to the capabilities of a apache config file it supports
some enhancements such as here-documents, C- style comments or
multiline options. It is also possible to save the config back to
disk, which makes the module a perfect backend for configuration
interfaces.
It is possible to use variables in config files and there exists also
support for object oriented access to the configuration.

duplicating
software package installations on different servers. And it can be
used for
automated software testing. Pexpect is in the spirit of Don Libes'
Expect, but
