ABSTRACT

Config::Find plugin for Unixen

DESCRIPTION

This module implements Config::Find for Unix

The order for searching the config files is:

            

              
              
1  ~/.$name                             [user]
1b ~/.$name.conf                        [user]
2  /$path_to_script/../etc/$name.conf   [global]
3  /$path_to_script/../conf/$name.conf  [global]
4  /etc/$name.conf                      [global]
            
          

although if the environment variable $ENV{${name}_HOME} is defined it does

            

              
              
1  ~/.$name                             [user]
1b ~/.$name.conf                        [user]
2  $ENV{${name}_HOME}/etc/$name.conf    [global]
3  $ENV{${name}_HOME}/conf/$name.conf   [global]
4  /etc/$name.conf                      [global]
            
          

instead.

When the "several configuration files in one directory" approach is used, the order is somewhat different:

            

              
              
1  ~/.$dir/$name.conf                        [user]
2  /$path_to_script/../etc/$dir/$name.conf   [global]
3  /$path_to_script/../conf/$dir/$name.conf  [global]
4  /etc/$dir/$name.conf                      [global]
            
          

(also affected by $ENV{${name}_HOME})
