Hi,
I'm having trouble with the above module/method.
Here is the header from the module:

package Config::Simple;
 
# $Id: Simple.pm,v 3.50 2003/04/29 01:42:25 sherzodr Exp $
 
use strict;
# uncomment the following line while debugging. Otherwise,
# it's too slow for production environment
#use diagnostics;
use Carp;
use Fcntl qw(:DEFAULT :flock);
use Text::ParseWords 'parse_line';
use vars qw($VERSION $DEFAULTNS $LC $USEQQ $errstr);
use AutoLoader 'AUTOLOAD';
 
 
$VERSION   = '4.55';
$DEFAULTNS = 'default';

I'm confused as to the ver num, it seems to be 3.50 and 4.55 ???

My code is this:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
                                                                      
+          
use Config::Simple;
use strict;
                                                                      
+          
                                                                      
+          
my $cfg;
my %config;
$cfg = new Config::Simple('test.cfg');
open(FH,"test.cfg");
printf("'%s' syntax\n", $cfg->guess_syntax(\*FH));
close FH;
%config = $cfg->vars();
print "NET = $config{NET} \n";
exit;

and my cfg file is a 1 liner (for test purposes):

NET = X

The output is:

'ini' syntax
Use of uninitialized value in concatenation (.) or string at ./t2.pl l
+ine 14.
NET =

which is odd because it should be 'simple' syntax according to the CPAN page http://search.cpan.org/~sherzodr/Config-Simple-4.55/Simple.pm

More importantly, it doesn't return the cfg file value. I've had a look through google and here (perlmonks) but can't find the problem mentioned. Maybe it's just me.... Any help appreciated.
I'd really like to use the hash syntax, because it's simpler/less 'noisy' than the other options.

Cheers
Chris
PS Supplementary dumb qn: why do i have to use HTML tags writing my qn. Why won't it accept CR/LF chars as in normal text?
