test1.pl:
=====================
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::General;
my $config_file = "foo2.ini";
#
# Create a config handle and
# read in all the variables from our file
#
our $conf = Config::General->new($config_file );
our %conf = $conf->getall;
=====================
foo2.ini:
=====================
<xml>
<apple>
</apple>
# below breaks because closing tag is on same line
#<banana></banana>
</xml>
=====================
Activating the banana line causes this error message:
Config::General: Block "<xml>" has no EndBlock statement (level: 2,
chunk 5)!
at test_config1.pl line 11.
Conclusion: the closing tag must be on a new line. The documentation at
http://search.cpan.org/~tlinden/Config-General-2.60/General.pm#BLOCKS
should warn of this limitation.
