NAME

Business::Shipping::Config - Configuration functions

VERSION

$Rev: 200 $

DESCRIPTION

Among other things, this module implements a simple API on top of the Config::IniFiles module.

METHODS

cfg()

Returns config hashref.

cfg_obj()

Returns config hashref.

support_files()

Returns the path of the support_files directory.

config_to_hash( $ary, $del )

$ary   Key/value pairs
$del   Delimiter for the above array (tab is default)

Builds a hash from an array of lines containing key / value pairs, like so:

key1    value1
key2    value2
key3    value3

config_to_ary_of_hashes( 'configuration_parameter' )

Reads in the configuration hashref ( e.g. cfg()->{ primary }->{ secondary } ), then returns an array of hashes. For example:

This:

[invalid_rate_requests]
invalid_rate_requests_ups=<<EOF
service=XDM    to_country=Canada    reason=Not available.
service=XDM    to_country=Brazil
EOF

When called with this:

my @invalid_rate_requests_ups = config_to_ary_of_hashes( 
    cfg()->{ invalid_rate_requests }->{ invalid_rate_requests_ups }
);

Returns this:

[ 
    {
        to_country => 'Canada',
        service    => 'XDM'
    },
    {
        to_country => 'Brazil',
        service    => 'XDM'
    },
]

data_dir_name()

The name of the data_dir (e.g. "data").

data_dir()

The path of the data_dir (e.g. "/var/perl/Business-Shipping/data").

get_req_mod()

Return a list of the required modules for a given shipper. Return all if no shipper is given.

calc_req_mod()
