NAME
Slackware::Slackget::Config - An interface to the configuration file
VERSION
Version 1.0.1
SYNOPSIS
This class is use to load a configuration file (config.xml) and the servers list file (servers.xml). It only encapsulate the XMLin() method of XML::Simple, there is no accessors or treatment method for this class. There is only a constructor which take only one argument : the name of the configuration file.
After loading you can acces to all values of the config file in the same way that with XML::Simple.
The only purpose of this class, is to allow other class to check that the config file have been properly loaded.
use Slackware::Slackget::Config;
my $config = Slackware::Slackget::Config->new('/etc/slack-get/config.xml') or die "cannot load config.xml\n";
print "I will use the encoding: $config->{common}->{'file-encoding'}\n";
print "slack-getd is configured as: $config->{daemon}->{mode}\n" ;
This module needs XML::Simple to work.
CONSTRUCTOR
new
The constructor take the config file name as argument.
my $config = Slackware::Slackget::Config->new('/etc/slack-get/config.xml') or die "cannot load config.xml\n";
get_token
Return the value associated to the given token.
Tokens are requested through a path like syntax. For example, the following XML :
<xml>
<item>
<key>value</key>
</item>
</xml>
The <key> element's value is accessed throught :
print $config->get_token("/item/key"); # the root key is not kept by this class
**WARNING** even if it could look like XPath : IT IS NOT !
set_token
Following the same syntax as the get_token() method, it allows you to set a configuration token.
$config->set_token("/item/key", "new value");
The value can be anything fitting a scalar (number, strings, array ref, hash ref, etc.)
