NAME

Poet::Manual::Configuring - Built-in Poet configuration options

DESCRIPTION

This is a list of configuration keys used by Poet itself. These may be placed in any Poet conf file, e.g. local.cfg or conf/global/*.cfg.

Entries like foo.bar can be listed either in dot notation

foo.bar: 5

or as part of a hash:

foo:
   bar: 5

See Dot notation for details.

cache

The entire hash under this entry will be passed to Poet::Cache->config(). See Poet::Cache for examples. e.g.

cache:
   defaults:
      expires_variance: 0.2
   storage:
      file:
         driver: File
         root_dir: ${root}/data/cache
      memcached:
         driver: Memcached
         servers: ["10.0.0.15:11211", "10.0.0.15:11212"]
         compress_threshold: 4096
   namespace:
      /some/component:       { storage: file, expires_in: 5min }
      /some/other/component: { storage: memcached, expires_in: 1h }
      Some::Library:         { storage: memcached, expires_in: 10min } 

env.bin_dir, env.comps_dir, etc.

These entries affect what is returned from $poet->bin_dir, $poet->bin_path, $poet->comps_dir, etc., and thus where various Poet resources are kept. See Poet::Environment. For example, to move data and logs into external directories outside the environment:

env:
  data_dir: /some/external/data/dir
  logs_dir: /some/external/logs/dir

log.defaults, log.category

Specify the log level, output location, and layout string for logging, in the default case and for particular categories respectively. See Poet::Log for examples. e.g.

log:
  defaults:
    level: info
    output: poet.log
    layout: "%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss.SS} [%p] %c - %m - %F:%L - %P%n"
  category:
    CHI:
      level: debug
      output: chi.log
      layout: "%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss.SS} %m - %P%n"
    MyApp::Foo:
      output: stdout

log.log4perl_conf

Bypass Poet's simplified logging configuration and specify a log4perl conf file directly. e.g.

log:
  log4perl_conf: /path/to/log4perl.conf

mason

The hash under this entry will be treated as options that are passed to Mason->new for the main Mason instance, overriding any default options. See Poet::Mason. e.g.

mason:
  static_source: 1
  static_source_touch_file: ${root}/data/purge.dat

server.default_content_type

Content type for requests that don't explicitly set one. Defaults to text/html.

server.host

The IP address to listen on.

server.load_modules

A list of modules to load on server startup, e.g.

server.load_modules:
   - DBI
   - List::Util
   - MyApp::Foo
   - MyApp::Bar

server.port

The port to listen on.
