NAME

SimpleConfig - Simple configuration file parser

SYNOPSIS

use SimpleConfig;

$config = SimpleConfig->new("configrc", [qw(Foo Bar Baz Quux)]);

$config->parse();

DESCRIPTION

C<SimpleConfig> reads and parses simple configuration files.  It's
designed to be smaller and simpler than the C<ConfigReader> module
and is more suited to simple configuration files.

CONSTRUCTOR

new ( FILENAME, DIRECTIVES )

This is the constructor for a new SimpleConfig object.

FILENAME tells the instance where to look for the configuration file.

DIRECTIVES is a reference to an array. Each member of the array should contain one valid directive.

This does the actual work. No parameters needed.

Returns the parsed value for that directive.

LIMITATIONS/BUGS

Directives are case-sensitive.

If a directive is repeated, the first instance will silently be ignored.

Always die()s on errors instead of reporting them.

get_value() doesn't warn if used before parse().

get_value() doesn't warn if you try to acces the value of an unknown directive not know (ie: one that wasn't passed via new()).

All these will be addressed in future releases.
