Subject: Cannot specify '=>' as a seperator
When trying to read a config file such as this: [directories] astetcdir => /etc/asterisk using: use Config::Std; use Config::Std { def_sep => '=\>' }; my $configfile = "asterisk.conf"; my $section = "directories"; read_config "$configfile" => my %config; my $astetcdir = $config{$section}{'astetcdir'}; print "astetcdir = $astetcdir\n"; the module reports the '>' sign as part of the file like this: astetcdir = > /etc/asterisk How do we fix that?

Sorry, but Config::Std does not read files that use key/value separators other than "=" or ":" Show quoted text
> use Config::Std { def_sep => '=\>' };
This does not change the separator to '=>'. The def_sep option can be used to specify whether "=" or ":" is used as a separator for new key/values added to the config file. It cannot be used to change the separator to anything else. Show quoted text
> How do we fix that?
Either change your config syntax to conform to the one Config::Std accepts, or else use another Config:: module (one that allows you to customize the separator). All the best, Damian

Disappointing, because this is a great module. I use it all the time. Thanks for the response. Regards; FSD Show quoted text

Subject: Cannot specify '=>' as a seperator / WNF
WNF - Will Not Fix. This is a status change only. As Damian explained previously, the purpose of the module is to provide great support for a single Standard Config format.

The request queue needed weeding as we transfer the module and I start cleaning up Doc, before fixing bugs. Your reply re-opened the bug, so I am closing it again. And thus you get another message. Sorry about that. If you want to ask questions or make suggestions without reopening bug, email me direct, not through RT. bill BRICKER@cpan.org bill.n1vux@gmail.com
