=head1 NAME
Config::Tiny - Read/Write .ini style files with as little code as possible
=head1 SYNOPSIS
# In your configuration file
rootproperty=blah
[section]
one=twp
three= four
Foo =Bar
empty=
# In your program
use Config::Tiny;
# Create a config
my $Config = Config::Tiny->new;
# Open the config
$Config = Config::Tiny->read( 'file.conf' );
# Reading properties
my $rootproperty = $Config->{_}->{rootproperty};
my $one = $Config->{section}->{one};
my $Foo = $Config->{section}->{Foo};
# Changing data
$Config->{newsection} = { this => 'that' }; # Add a section
$Config->{section}->{Foo} = 'Not Bar!'; # Change a value
delete $Config->{_}; # Delete a value or section
# Save a config
$Config->write( 'file.conf' );
=head1 DESCRIPTION
C<Config::Tiny> is a perl class to read and write .ini style configuration
files with as little code as possible, reducing load time and memory
overhead. Most of the time it is accepted that Perl applications use a lot
of memory and modules. The C<::Tiny> family of modules is specifically
intended to provide an ultralight alternative to the standard modules.
This module is primarily for reading human written files, and anything we
write shouldn't need to have documentation/comments. If you need something
with more power move up to L<Config::Simple>, L<Config::General> or one of
the many other C<Config::> modules. To rephrase, L<Config::Tiny> does B<not>
preserve your comments, whitespace, or the order of your config file.
=head1 CONFIGURATION FILE SYNTAX
Files are the same format as for windows .ini files. For example:
[section]
var1=value1
var2=value2
If a property is outside of a section at the beginning of a file, it will
be assigned to the C<"root section">, available at C<$Config-E<gt>{_}>.
Lines starting with C<'#'> or C<';'> are considered comments and ignored,
as are blank lines.
When writing back to the config file, all comments, custom whitespace,
and the ordering of your config file elements is discarded. If you need
to keep the human elements of a config when writing back, upgrade to
something better, this module is not for you.
=head1 METHODS
=head2 new
The constructor C<new> creates and returns an empty C<Config::Tiny> object.
=head2 read $filename
The C<read> constructor reads a config file, and returns a new
C<Config::Tiny> object containing the properties in the file.
Returns the object on success, or C<undef> on error.
When C<read> fails, C<Config::Tiny> sets an error message internally
you can recover via C<Config::Tiny-E<gt>errstr>. Although in B<some>
cases a failed C<read> will also set the operating system error
variable C<$!>, not all errors do and you should not rely on using
the C<$!> variable.
=head2 read_string $string;
The C<read_string> method takes as argument the contents of a config file
as a string and returns the C<Config::Tiny> object for it.
=head2 write $filename
The C<write> method generates the file content for the properties, and
writes it to disk to the filename specified.
Returns true on success or C<undef> on error.
=head2 write_string
Generates the file content for the object and returns it as a string.
=head2 errstr
When an error occurs, you can retrieve the error message either from the
C<$Config::Tiny::errstr> variable, or using the C<errstr()> method.
=head1 CAVEATS
=head2 Unsupported Section Headers
Some edge cases in section headers are not support, and additionally may not
be detected when writing the config file.
Specifically, section headers with leading whitespace, trailing whitespace,
or newlines anywhere in the section header, will not be written correctly
to the file and may cause file corruption.
=head1 SUPPORT
Bugs should be reported via the CPAN bug tracker at
L<http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/ReportBug.html?Queue=Config-Tiny>
For other issues, or commercial enhancement or support, contact the author.

"simple" enough for me :)
