Hi,
I need a perl module to do config file parsing. At the moment my needs
are simple (and not well defined). However in the near future I am going
to want to
a) break config file up into sections (such as global section, 'a'
section, 'b' section)
b) have a script that will not understand contents of all sections, but
plugins that will understand their section.
Ideally I'd want something that is already packaged in Debian. The
candidates I've found so far are (I've included debian package name,
along with what I suspect the CPAN module is called):
libapache-configfile-perl Apache::ConfigFile
libappconfig-perl AppConfig
libconfhelper-perl Confhelper
libconfig-auto-perl Config::Auto
libconfig-general-perl Config::General
libconfig-inifiles-perl Config::IniFiles
libconfig-simple-perl Config::Simple
libconfig-tiny-perl Config::Tiny
libconfigfile-perl ConfigFile
libconfigreader-perl ConfigReader
An option that is also going to be sticking around for awhile in Debian
would be good as well.
Thanks for anyhelp!
