NAME
Conf::Libconfig - Perl extension for libconfig
SYNOPSIS
use Conf::Libconfig;
my $self = new Conf::Libconfig;
$self->read_file($cfg);
$self->read_string("test:{key = \"only for test!\";};");
my $value = $self->lookup_value("abc.edf");
print $value;
use Data::Dumper;
my $arrayref = $self->fetch_array("cdef.abcd.arrayref");
print Dumper $arrayref;
my $hashref = $self->fetch_hashref("cdef.abcd.hashref");
print Dumper $hashref;
$self->add("fghj.rtyu", "binarykey", "0b1");
$self->add_boolscalar("fghj.rtyu", "binarykey", 0);
# if program is over, DESTROY can auto exit, and you can ignore function delete.
$self->delete();DESCRIPTION
You can use Conf::Libconfig for perl config, and support Scalar, Array and Hash data structures etc. like C or C++ function. Conf::Libconfig could reduce your config file and quote by C/C++ transportability.
