Using Extended and Interpolated subclasses at the same time

Posted on 2007-10-24 05:55:07-07 by iskander

Hello, I have a question about your Config::General and its two subclasses. Is it possible to use the Config::General::Extended interface with config files that contain variables? It seemed to me that, to have variables/substitutions, one needs to use the Config::General::Interpolated module, which is not subclassed by Config::General::Extended. However, I was wondering if you'd spent any time thinking about the case of using both variables and the OO interface. Thanks!

Ahm, normally you use it this way:

use Config::General; my $conf = new Config::General( -ExtendedAccess => 1, -InterPolateVars => 1, -ConfigFile => "configfile" );

Now interpolates vars and you can access the resulting hash the OOP way.
