This software allows users to read and write configuration data using references, sections, environment variables, and templating. It simplifies the management of configuration files.
Config::Wrest is a Perl module that allows for the reading of easily editable and human-readable configuration data in text format. With this module, users can access configuration data as a perl data structure and write configuration data from Perl back to text format.
The data format supported by Config::Wrest includes commenting, escaping unprintable characters, unicode data support, nested sections, and preprocessing of each line through a templating engine. The use of a templating engine enables interpolation of variables and environment variables, as well as the performance of logic and transformations.
Directives in the data format can also alter the behavior of the parser from inside the configuration file and execute actions like setting variables or including other files.
The SYNOPSIS of Config::Wrest showcases the versatility of this module. It includes the use of the deserialize method to read configuration data from a string or reference to a string. Users can also use the serialize method to write configuration data as a string, into a specific scalar or interface with files through convenience methods.
In conclusion, Config::Wrest is an excellent tool for users who utilize complex configuration data structures in their work. The module offers flexibility and efficiency in reading and writing configuration data in a human-readable format, making it an essential component of any Perl developer's toolkit.
