NAME Config::Pg::ServiceFile - PostgreSQL connection service file parser SYNOPSIS # ~/.pg_service.conf [foo] host=localhost port=5432 user=foo dbname=db_foo password=password # your_program.pl use Config::Pg::ServiceFile; # { # foo => { # host => 'localhost', # post => '5432', # user => 'foo', # dbname => 'db_foo', # password => 'passwird', # } # } my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_file('~/.pg_service.conf'); DESCRIPTION Config::Pg::ServiceFile is a parser for the PostgreSQL connection service file. The connection service file is based on the INI format, but uses a # as the comment character. As such, this is a simple module that subclasses Config::INI::Reader, and replaces the comment character accordingly. The accompanying module Pg::ServiceFile provides a better interface to the data stored in a PostgreSQL connection file. See Pg::ServiceFile for more information. METHODS Config::Pg::ServiceFile inherits all methods from Config::INI::Reader. read_file my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_file($filename); Given a filename, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that file. read_handle my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_handle($io_handle); Given an IO::Handle, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that handle. read_string my $hash_ref = Config::INI::Reader->read_string($string); Given a string, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that string.
