🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

Okay so. This module is your little group chat of routines for dealing with colon-delimited configuration files 💅. That's it, that's the vibe — it reads them, it writes them, it does not overthink it. Iconic behaviour, honestly.

---

👑 FUNCTIONS 👑

• read_config(PATH, HASHREF) — Reads the configuration file chillin' at PATH into a hash and hands it right back to you 🎀. And if you also pass a HASHREF? It will fill that one instead — like, it knows you already had a container and it's not gonna be weird about it. So thoughtful fr fr.
• write_config(TEST_CASE, PATH) — Takes the config described by the hash reference TEST_CASE and writes it out to the file named PATH ✨. Yes queen, your hash becomes a whole file on disk. Main character energy.

---

lowkey reminder: PATH, HASHREF and TEST_CASE are the placeholders here, so swap in your actual file paths and hash refs — iykyk 🧚

that's the whole page, bestie, you ate it 💜
