====== XML::Application::Config ======
''XML::Application::Config'' is a perl module for handling ''XML'' based
configuration files.
Examples:
#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use XML::Application::Config;
use Data::Dumper;
my $xmlfilename = $ENV{HOME}."/.myApplication.xml";
my $cfg = XML::Application::Config->new("myApplication",$xmlfilename);
my $login = $cfg->find('auth/login/@value');
my $passwd = $cfg->find('auth/password/@value');
my $optionscount = $cfg->find("count(optionlist/option)");
print "Options(#): '$optionscount'\n";
for (my $i=1; $i <= $optionscount; $i++) {
my $name = $cfg->find("optionlist/option[$i]/\@name");
my $value = $cfg->find("optionlist/option[$i]/\@value");
$options->{$name} = $value;
print " Option $i: '$name'='$value'\n";
}
print Dumper($options);
===== bugs & wish list =====
* Replace XML::XPath by XML::LibXML2 (2015-02-23)
* The statement allows only for including stuff from the same namespace. Sometimes access to arbitarary config trees of another application would be nice. Thinking about or similar. (2015-02-23)
* Some variable replacement mechanism. Like and . Testcode currently runs in mkrepo. (2015-02-23)
* Hierarchical config file processing: /etc/ first, ~/. next, ./. each overriding the settings from its predecessors.
* ~ - expansion for xml-cfg-filename in new() would be nice (2015-09-10)
=== fixed bugs ===
* The .deb-package lacks the dependency of libxml-xpath-perl (2015-02-23) (fixed in 0.2.3.2)
* manpage: missing like break in SYNOPSIS, (fixed in 0.2.3.2)
* manpage: broken constructor call in SYNOPSIS (fixed in 0.2.3.2)
* manpage: xpaths with leading / in SYNOPSIS (fixed in 0.2.3.2)
* manpage: ~ - expansion is suggested, change examples to $ENV{HOME} (fixed in 0.2.3.2)
