| Subject: | New() method does not croak on a directory |
Test case /tmp/perl-Config-General_directory:
use Config::General;
Config::General->new($ARGV[0])->getall;
If ARGV[0] is a directory, no message will be printed and program will
exit gracefully:
$ perl -I Config-General-2.49/blib/lib
/tmp/perl-Config-General_directory Config-General-2.49; echo $?
0
In contrast, if ARGV[0] is a non-existing file, error will croak and
program will exit with proper code:
$ perl -I Config-General-2.49/blib/lib
/tmp/perl-Config-General_directory x; echo $?
Config::General The file "x" does not exist! at
/tmp/perl-Config-General_directory line 2
2
I think Config::General should croak because documentation states the
new() argument is a file name (or hash or hash reference).
