Config:...General(3)

🎀 Config::Any::General — the manual, but make it group chat 🎀

okay so real quick — this is the Config::Any::General page, and it lives in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section, which is where all the community-coded goodness hangs out. it's a Perl module manual page (Config:...General(3) if you're being formal about it, and you should be when you're citing it, bestie 💅).

✨ NAME ✨

Config::Any::General — literally just here to load Config::General files. that's the whole gig. slay.

---

🌸 DESCRIPTION 🌸

So here's the vibe: this module loads Config::General files. icon behavior, no notes.

And because a picture is worth a thousand words, here's the example straight from the source — copy it exactly, don't be weird about it:

name = TestApp
<Component Controller::Foo>
    foo bar
    bar [ arrayref-value ]
</Component>
<Model Baz>
    qux xyzzy
</Model>

like, look at those nested blocks. <Component Controller::Foo> serving structure, <Model Baz> keeping it cute. the way this config file said "I contain multitudes" 😭💖

🦋 METHODS 🦋

💫 extensions( )

returns an array of valid extensions, and those extensions are "cnf" and "conf". two of them. both iconic. that's it, that's the method.

💫 load( $file )

attempts to load $file via Config::General. note the word attempts — it's giving "I will try my best and that's all anyone can ask" 🫶.

💫 requires_all_of( )

specifies that this module requires Config::General in order to work. like yeah bestie, obviously — no Config::General, no function. it's a whole dependency situation, iykyk.
