Config::Context::ConfigGeneral - Use Config::General (Apache-style) config files with Config::Context

    use Config::Context;

    my $config_text = '

        <Location /users>
            title = "User Area"
        </Location>

        <LocationMatch \.*(jpg|gif|png)$>
            image_file = 1
        </LocationMatch>

    ';

    my $conf = Config::Context->new(
        string        => $config_text,
        driver        => 'ConfigGeneral',
        match_sections => [
            {
                name          => 'Location',
                match_type    => 'path',
            },
            {
                name          => 'LocationMatch',
                match_type    => 'regex',
            },
        ],

    --------
    $VAR1 = {
        'title'         => 'User Area',
        'image_file'    => undef,
    };

    my %config = $conf->getall_matching('/users/~biff/images/flaming_logo.gif');
    print Dumper(\%config);
    --------

    };

This module uses Config::General to parse Apache-style config files for Config::Context. See the Config::Context docs for more information.

In addition to the options normally enabled by Config::Scoped, the following options are turned on by default:

    -MergeDuplicateBlocks  => 1
    -MergeDuplicateOptions => 1
    -IncludeRelative       => 1

You can change this behaviour by passing a different value to driver_params to new:

    my $conf = Config::Context->new(
        driver => 'ConfigGeneral',
        driver_options => {
           ConfigGeneral = > {
               -MergeDuplicateBlocks  => 0,
           },
        },
    );

    my $driver = Config::Context::ConfigGeneral->new(
        file             => $config_file,
        lower_case_names => 1,  # optional
        options          => {
            # ...
        }
    );

or:

    my $driver = Config::Context::ConfigGeneral->new(
        string           => $config_string,
        lower_case_names => 1,  # optional
        options          => {
            # ...
        }
    );

Returns a new driver object, using the provided options.

Returns the data structure for the parsed config.

Returns a list of all the config files read, including any config files included in the main file.

Returns the modules used to parse the config. In this case: Config::General

Instead of:

    <Location '/foo'>
    </Location>

Use:

    <Location /foo>
    </Location>
