NAME

Config::Any::CSV - Load CSV files as config files

VERSION

version 0.01

SYNOPSIS

The interface of Config::Any sucks, so this example uses Config::JFDI:

use Config::JFDI;

my $config = Config::JFDI->new( 
    path => '/path/that/includes/foo.csv', # and/or foo_local.csv
    name => 'foo'
);

DESCRIPTION

This small module adds support of CSV files to Config::Any. Files with extension .csv are read with Text::CSV - see that module for documentation of the particular CSV format. Config::Any::CSV enables the option binary and allow_whitespace. The first row of a CSV file is always interpreted as a list of field names and the first field is always interpreted as key field. For instance this CSV file

name,age,mail
alice, 42, alice@example.org
bob, 23, bob@example.org

Is parsed into this Perl structure:

{
    alice => {
        age  => '42',
        mail => 'alice@example.org'
    },
     bob => {
        age => '23',
        mail => 'bob@example.org'
    }
}

The order of rows gets lost. If a file contains multiple rows with the same first field value, only the last of these rows is used. Empty lines are ignored.
