I am using Config::General v2.42 on Windows XP/Strawberry Perl v5.10 (last release)
Examples in the module's documentation for using here documents, like the following, do not show an '=' char before <<EOF,
yet the module will not return the here doc contents properly unless I add the '=' char.
message <<EOF
we want to
remove the
homedir of
root.
EOF
My code is:
my %config_opt = ( -ConfigFile => $config_file,
-SplitPolicy => 'equalsign',
-CComments => 0,
-BackslashEscape => 1);
my $CG_obj = Config::General->new(%config_opt);
my %config = $CG_obj->getall;
This works correctly:
message =<<EOF
we want to
remove the
homedir of
root.
EOF
Thanks for a great module which I always use for configuration files.
