Re: Re: Re: I swim in a sea of databases and DBIx::Connect is barely adequate

I think you can do it all just by switching config modules. If you use Config::ApacheFormat, for example, you can have defaults and override them:

 # default
 user postgres
 pass <STDIN>
 dsn  dbi:Pg:dbname=mydb
 attr RaiseError=0
 attr PrintError=0
 attr Taint=1

 <Database dev_db>
 user root
 # the rest is inherited from defaults
 </Database>

That's a pretty nice module... it will work. I am planning to upload my version of Config::Resources with warnings cleaned out, etc, etc. Then I will ruminate on the comparative approaches to defaulting argumements. Thanks for the pointer. Interesting how tregar did not submit patches to either author of preceding modules... Carter's compass: I know I'm on the right track when by deleting something, I'm adding functionality.	[reply]
