Re: A gentle soul to verify a Config::Simple based object?

Everything tests ok here. How about adding a test for file readability - maybe the user under which you are running can't read the config file?

  die "Config file not readable!"
    unless -r CONFIG_FILE;   # or maybe "-R" ?

update: this is the code I used for testing:

my $x = RCB::Config->_new_instance;
use Data::Dumper;
print Dumper( $x );

Thank you for this. :-) Just found the problem. My sections at the config file had an extra space inside '[' and ']' (I've posted the config a couple of posts before this). I found something that could be a documentation bug from Config::Simple: the section names (words surrounded by '[' and ']') had not all the leading and trailing spaces removed from them. Nothing is said about this in the config file. Shall I post a bug report on this? -- monsieur_champs	[reply]

Hi, I wouldn't consider it a bug in the documentation, but an omission. In any case, please send email to the maintainer asking to have it clarified. Jason L.
