The following module was proposed for inclusion in the Module List:
modid: App::Getconf
DSLIP: RdpOp
description: config container for command-line apps
userid: DOZZIE (Stanisław Klekot)
chapterid: 12 (Opt_Arg_Param_Proc)
communities:
comp.lang.perl.modules
similar:
App::Options, AppConfig
rationale:
The module is meant as a config container for command-line
applications. Configuration options may be set from command line or
configuration file.
The module provides a way of passing options down the function call
stack. Traditional way of doing this is to either use global
variable(s) or to pass config container as argument to each
function. * global variable has a drawback of introducing name of a
variable that is treated differently than most of the others (i.e.
locals): it's defined elsewhere and programmer needs to remember not
to use the name * passing container as argument is tedious, as
programmer needs to pass it to every function, even if it doesn't
use options directly
App::Getconf uses approach similar to Log::Log4perl: it provides a
static method that returns option container (actually, a view of the
options).
