NAME
Config::Find::Unix - Config::Find plugin for Unixen
SYNOPSIS
# don't use Config::Find::Unix directly
use Config::Find;
ABSTRACT
Config::Find plugin for Unixen
DESCRIPTION
This module implements Config::Find for Unix
The order for searching the config files is:
1 ~/.$name [user]
1b ~/.$name.conf [user]
2 /$path_to_script/../etc/$name.conf [global]
3 /$path_to_script/../conf/$name.conf [global]
4 /etc/$name.conf [global]
although if the environment variable $ENV{${name}_HOME}
is defined it does
1 ~/.$name [user]
1b ~/.$name.conf [user]
2 $ENV{${name}_HOME}/etc/$name.conf [global]
3 $ENV{${name}_HOME}/conf/$name.conf [global]
4 /etc/$name.conf [global]
instead.
When the "several configuration files in one directory" approach is used, the order is somewhat different:
1 ~/.$dir/$name.conf [user]
2 /$path_to_script/../etc/$dir/$name.conf [global]
3 /$path_to_script/../conf/$dir/$name.conf [global]
4 /etc/$dir/$name.conf [global]
(also affected by $ENV{${name}_HOME}
)
