Its default behavior is quite similar to that of L, on which it is based. The chief difference is that Config::INI::Reader is designed to be subclassed to allow for side-effects and self-reconfiguration to occur during the course of reading its input. =head1 PERL VERSION This library should run on perls released even a long time ago. It should work on any version of perl released in the last five years. Although it may work on older versions of perl, no guarantee is made that the minimum required version will not be increased. The version may be increased for any reason, and there is no promise that patches will be accepted to lower the minimum required perl. =head1 METHODS FOR READING CONFIG These methods are all that most users will need: they read configuration from a source of input, then they return the data extracted from that input. There are three reader methods, C, C, and C. The first two are implemented in terms of the third. It iterates over lines in a file, calling methods on the reader when events occur. Those events are detailed below in the L section. All of the reader methods return an unblessed reference to a hash. All throw an exception when they encounter an error. =head2 read_file my $hash_ref = Config::INI::Reader->read_file($filename); Given a filename, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that file. =head2 read_string my $hash_ref = Config::INI::Reader->read_string($string); Given a string, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that string. =head2 read_handle my $hash_ref = Config::INI::Reader->read_handle($io_handle); Given an IO::Handle, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that handle. =head1 METHODS FOR SUBCLASSING These are the methods you need to understand and possibly change when subclassing Config::INI::Reader to handle a different format of input. =head2 current_section my $section_name = $reader->current_section; This method returns the name of the current section. If no section has yet been set, it returns the result of calling the C method. =head2 parse_section_header my $name = $reader->parse_section_header($line, $handle); Given a line of input, this method decides whether the line is a section-change declaration. If it is, it returns the name of the section to which to change. If the line is not a section-change, the method returns false. =head2 change_section $reader->change_section($section_name); This method is called whenever a section change occurs in the file. The default implementation is to change the current section into which data is being read and to initialize that section to an empty hashref. =head2 parse_value_assignment my ($name, $value) = $reader->parse_value_assignment($line, $handle); Given a line of input, this method decides whether the line is a property value assignment. If it is, it returns the name of the property and the value being assigned to it. If the line is not a property assignment, the method returns false. =head2 set_value $reader->set_value($name, $value); This method is called whenever an assignment occurs in the file. The default behavior is to change the value of the named property to the given value. =head2 starting_section my $section = Config::INI::Reader->starting_section; This method returns the name of the starting section. The default is: C<_> =head2 can_ignore do_nothing if $reader->can_ignore($line, $handle) This method returns true if the given line of input is safe to ignore. The default implementation ignores lines that contain only whitespace or comments. This is run I L. =head2 preprocess_line $reader->preprocess_line(\$line); This method is called to preprocess each line after it's read but before it's parsed. The default implementation just strips inline comments. Alterations to the line are made in place. =head2 handle_unparsed_line $reader->handle_unparsed_line( $line, $handle ); This method is called when the reader encounters a line that doesn't look like anything it recognizes. By default, it throws an exception. =head2 finalize $reader->finalize; This method is called when the reader has finished reading in every line of the file. =head2 new my $reader = Config::INI::Reader->new; This method returns a new reader. This generally does not need to be called by anything but the various C methods, which create a reader object only ephemerally. =head1 ORIGIN Originaly derived from L, by Adam Kennedy. =head1 AUTHOR Ricardo Signes =head1 COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE This software is copyright (c) 2007 by Ricardo Signes.
