NAME¶

Config::Model::Backend::PerlFile - Read and write config as a Perl data structure

VERSION¶

version 2.154

SYNOPSIS¶

 use Config::Model ;
 use Data::Dumper ;
 # define configuration tree object
 my $model = Config::Model->new ;
 $model ->create_config_class (
    name => "MyClass",
    element => [
        [qw/foo bar/] => {
            type => 'leaf',
            value_type => 'string'
        },
        baz => {
            type => 'hash',
            index_type => 'string' ,
            cargo => {
                type => 'leaf',
                value_type => 'string',
            },
        },
    ],
  rw_config  => {
     backend => 'perl_file' ,
     config_dir => '/tmp',
     file  => 'foo.pl',
     auto_create => 1,
  },
 ) ;
 my $inst = $model->instance(root_class_name => 'MyClass' );
 my $root = $inst->config_root ;
 my $steps = 'foo=yada bar="bla bla" baz:en=hello
             baz:fr=bonjour baz:hr="dobar dan"';
 $root->load( steps => $steps ) ;
 $inst->write_back ;

Now, "/tmp/foo.pl" contains:

 {
   bar => 'bla bla',
   baz => {
     en => 'hello',
     fr => 'bonjour',
     hr => 'dobar dan'
   },
   foo => 'yada'
 }

DESCRIPTION¶

This module is used directly by Config::Model to read or write the content of a configuration tree written with Perl syntax in "Config::Model" configuration tree.

Note:

• Undefined values are skipped for list element. I.e. if a list element contains "('a',undef,'b')", the data structure contains 'a','b'.
• Perl file is not created (and may be deleted) when no data is to be written.
