Subject:

please don't use indirect object syntax

The documentation uses indirect object syntax which is considered bad practice since some years already. See 'Indirect Object Syntax' in http://perldoc.perl.org/perlobj.html#Invoking-Class-Methods and http://www.network-theory.co.uk/docs/perlref/perlobj_Indirect_Object_Syntax.html for an explanation.

For the non indirect object syntax? Instead of $conf = new Config::General("rcfile"); $conf = Config::General->new("rcfile");

Fixed in 2.52. I fixed it in code as well, since I used the notation at a couple of places. Thanks!
