Please write a patch against the svn:
http://config-inifiles.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/config-inifiles/
The patch should have a patch to the code, to the POD documentation and
an extensive new test script under t/ testing this functionality. Please
use Test::More and Test::Count to write the script properly.
Also, make sure you return a single hash-ref and not a flattened hash,
which will make returning an error code harder.
I should note that I'm not planning to enhance Config-IniFiles a lot
except for bug-fixes and cleanups of code (especially the testing code).
I'm unhappy with its convulted perltie functionality, and there are many
other ini-handling modules on CPAN. (Someone on Perl-Israel gave an
entire presentation once about the Config:: namespace on CPAN.)
Config-IniFiles is not too bad and relatively self-contained and
high-quality, and seems popular (and was also given as an example for an
INI module in the book "Mastering Perl"), but it's still not something
I'm having a lot of fun maintaining.
