Config::FreeForm I<Config::FreeForm> provides in-memory configuration data in a free-form manner. Many existing configuration modules attempt to provide some structure to your configuration data; in doing so, they force you to use their own configuration paradigm (association of keywords with values, etc.). Often this isn't what you need in a complex application--you need complete control over your configuration data, and you need the ability to structure it however you like. This is what I<Config::FreeForm> gives you. In I<Config::FreeForm> configuration data is stored as a Perl data structure. The logic behind this is that you know Perl--you shouldn't need to learn another little language to set up your configuration data, however simple that language may be. PREREQUISITES There are no prerequisite modules. INSTALLATION Installation is done as with most Perl modules by running these commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DOCUMENTATION Documentation is in the module itself in POD form. It will be installed automatically in the standard documentation directories on your local system.
