Source: appconfig Section: perl Priority: optional Build-Depends: debhelper (>= 7) Build-Depends-Indep: perl Maintainer: Stefan Hornburg (Racke) Standards-Version: 4.0.0 Package: libappconfig-perl Architecture: all Depends: ${perl:Depends}, ${misc:Depends} Description: Perl module for configuration file and command line handling AppConfig is a bundle of Perl5 modules for reading configuration files and parsing command line arguments. Note that writing configuration files is not supported at this time. . AppConfig supports a relaxed configuration file syntax with support for flags (booleans), single and multivalue (lists or hashes) items. A defined default and validation routine or regex can be defined for each option. . Environment variable, file variable and tilde (~) are supported and may be applied to selected configuration options. For long blocks of text you can also use Perl HEREDOC syntax. Additionally there is also a mechanism to utilise all these same features via a CGI.
