If there is a space in the name of a heredoc, it is read as garbage: <cache> Gray[Error Diffusion] = <<EOF Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to standard output. EOF </cache> I attach an example script to read the above.

fixed in 2.39 please note, that this will only work with split delimiter "gues" (the default). If you specify your own delimiter, it will not work!

The new version cannot cope with the following config file. If -SplitPolicy is specified, the the heredoc is not correctly read, and if not, then "cache options" is not correctly read, with error message "Config::General: Cannot create hashref from <cache> because there is already a scalar option 'cache' with value 'options = 1' at ./CG.pl line 5". cache options = 1 <cache> Gray[Error Diffusion] = <<EOF Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to standard output. EOF </cache> I attach an example script to read the above.

Did you read my last mail, didn't you? As I said there, this is fixed in version 2.40. t.pl: #!/usr/bin/perl -w use lib qw(/home/scip/D/ConfigModul/Config-General-2.40/blib/lib); use strict; use Data::Dumper; use Config::General qw(ParseConfig SaveConfig); my %cfg = ParseConfig( -ConfigFile => shift(), -InterPolateVars => 1, -MergeDuplicateBlocks => 1, -MergeDuplicateOptions => 1, -StrictVars => 1, -SplitPolicy => 'equalsign', # -SplitDelimiter => '\s*=\s*', ); print Dumper(\%cfg); exit; Using your config this is the result: scip@mutant: $ ./t.pl t.cfg $VAR1 = { 'cache options' => '1', 'cache' => { 'Gray[Error Diffusion]' => 'Usage: scanimage [OPTION]... Start image acquisition on a scanner device and write PNM image data to standard output.' } }; If that looks like garbage for you, I am very sorry. Ticket CLOSED.
