I keep seeing people doing
__PACKAGE__->config->{foo}{bar} = 'value';
This is -not- correct usage, is -not- safe and has undefined results. I've
hacked the implementation of config around quite a bit to minimise this but
without doing highly expensive (and potentially also dangerous) deep clones
everywhere it can't be made safe.
The correct thing to do is -
__PACKAGE__->config(
foo => { bar => 'value' }
);
Basically, only ever call ->config->{... for getting values.
If you need to set, call the method as demonstrated above.
Any documentation or code using the other approach (including some in cat
core) is -wrong- and we need to correct it.
