This software allows for the creation of DBI connections by storing password and other parameters in .ini files. These connections can be easily established and managed for efficient database access.
With DBIx::PasswordIniFile, you can easily create a connection by specifying the relevant parameters within the .ini file. This includes specifying the file path, the configuration section, encryption key, and the name of the encryption module. Additionally, the module allows you to connect using either specific attributes or simply to connect without any additional attributes.
You can also connect using a cached connection, which is perfect if you need to connect to the same database multiple times. The module lets you change the password to one that's new and the password is stored encrypted.
This module is very similar to DBIx::Password, but there are some key differences. For example, with DBIx::PasswordIniFile, the parameters for the DBI connection aren't configured within the module itself, but instead are stored within an external .ini file. Additionally, only one virtual user per .ini file is allowed.
One of the more useful features of this module is that it is a subclass of DBI, which means you can use all of the DBI function objects using DBIx::PasswordIniFile objects.
