[3]CfgTie:: A Configuration Interface thru Perl Introduction CfgTie is a package of Perl modules and tools. These make it easier to configure and maintain Unix computers. The idea is that just about everything in your machines environment can -- nay should -- be operable thru a single consistent interface. This is a set of tools that make many of the various configuration subsystem in your machine appear to be Perl variables of some sort. (There are other modules available from CPAN for the other aspects of your environment). Problem Domain This module makes the configuration text files and subsystems available to Perl as conventional objects. These are mapped into Perl, usually as hash arrays, but providing object nethods where appropriate. Installation After unpacking the tar file, do: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install Optional Modules * Rcs * Getopts::Long How to find out more online documentation There is a set of online documentation. http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1862/script/CfgTie_toc.html mailling list There is a mailling list to discuss this package.
