NAME

Templer::Global - Configuration-file parser for templer.

SYNOPSIS

use strict;
use warnings;

use Templer::Global;

my $site   = Templer::Global->new( file => "./templer.cfg" );
my $suffix = $site->field( "suffix" );

DESCRIPTION

This class is responsible for parsing the top-level templer.cfg file which we assume will be present in a templer-based site.

The file is a simple key=value store, with comments being prefixed by the hash ("#") character, and ignored.

This object is created when templer is started so that the options may be parsed/read. Once that happens the options are merged with the command-line flags, and this object isn't touched again.

METHODS

new

Constructor.

Any parameters specified in our single hash-argument are saved away, the filename specified in the 'file' parameter will be opened and parsed.

_readGlobalCFG

Read the specified configuration file. Called by the constructor if a filename was specified.

field

Retrieve a value from the file, by key.

This is only called by templer to retrieve the pre/post-build commands to execute.

fields

Retrieve all known key/value pairs.

This is called by templer to retrieve all global settings, which can then be merged with its defaults.
