Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package "IniFiles"

bhushanQA has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::IniFiles;

my ( %ini_file, $ini_sect );
tie %ini_file, 'IniFiles', ( -file => "file1.txt");
foreach $ini_sect ( keys %ini_file ) 

    {
        %$ini_sect = %{ $ini_file{$ini_sect} };

    }

I am getting this error while running the above script "Can't locate object method "TIEHASH" via package "IniFiles" at ./ReadSGtest.pl line 7."

`tie %ini_file, 'IniFiles', ( -file => "file1.txt");` [download] should be `tie %ini_file, 'Config::IniFiles', (-file => "file1.txt");` [download] Also, the line `%$ini_sect = %{ $ini_file{$ini_sect} };` won't work under strict, since `$ini_sect` is a string and can't be used as a hash reference. But I'm assuming your code example is just a test and you'll be fixing that anyway.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Try replacing: `tie %ini_file, 'IniFiles', ( -file => "file1.txt");` [download] with: `tie %ini_file, 'Config::IniFiles', ( -file => 'file1.txt' );` [download] from the module documentation.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
