Point and shoot method of getting a database handle with only a yaml configuration file as argument.
This is meant for people learning perl who just want to get up and running. It's the simplest customizable way of getting a database handle with very little code.
This is mostly for mysql- the default driver used. The conf file may also tell to use a sqlite db instead.
INSTALLATION
tar -xvf ./$this_package_file
cd $package_dir_created
perl Makefile.PL
make test
make install
TESTING
For real testing you will need to have a running mysqld server.
You need to be able to make a connection to a database as per
./t/mysql_credentials.conf
username: testing
database: testing
password: testing
hostname: localhost
If you do have this set up, run
perl t/01_find_confs_and_test.pl
If you want to set up your own parameters, throw in a bunch of config files in t/ that you know will work. Each file must end in '.conf'.
