This software provides a Perl module that allows users to store configuration variables in a single, centralized file for easy access and management.
Using a plain Perl module for configuration variables enables you to perform computations in the file and initialize variables from previously-defined ones. However, it requires some repetitive accounting work to ensure that all the variables are accessible from your main program and other modules. You need to set up the module as an Exporter, add all of the config variable names into @EXPORT_OK for others to access, declare them with our or use vars to make them strict-safe, and finally initialize the variable. Doing this for each variable is tedious and time-consuming.
Fortunately, Config::Vars takes care of all these repetitive coding tasks for you so that you can focus on your project. This module takes care of importing the Exporter module, setting up @EXPORT_OK and @ISA, and declaring and initializing the variable. With Config::Vars, you can declare and initialize variables in your config file with only one line of code.
If you are looking for a simple and efficient way to keep your configuration variables in a central location, Config::Vars is an excellent choice. It is easy to use and saves you time and effort.
