Re^3: Trouble working with Config::Simple

The variables are defined before everything else, the only reason the the arrays are not defined there is because they are defined later after the class as been selected. the &load_game code comes after everything is defined. The two quotes around the file name $cfg->read("'$ENV{HOME}/.kenesis'") is the only way I was able to get $cfg->read to see the .kenesis file, I'm not sure why I had to though.
I guess it would be easier for people to review the whole code, I have the project hosted on Google Code and the file can be viewed here. This should help everyone see where everything is at.

Re^4: Trouble working with Config::Simple by parv (Parson) on Jul 12, 2008 at 07:08 UTC
Tell me this: at what point does `$cfg` get a value from `&Config::Simple::new` when the program is requested to load a game via `load game` string coming in from `STDIN`? Between declaration of `$cfg` variable on line 31 and call to `&load_game` sub on line 83, `$cfg` remains undefined. And, what is very first statement of `&load_game`? It is a call to a(n) (unknown) method `read` on yet-to-be-defined `$cfg`. That is the reason for the error message. `$cfg` needs to be defined (even) in `&load_game` sub before a method could be called on it, much like in the first statement of `&new_game` sub on line 107. You can do one of at least two things ... `sub load_game { # No need for separate "$cfg->read( ... )". $cfg = Config::Simple->new( 'file' ); # or ... $cfg = Config::Simple->new; $cfg->read( 'file' ); ... }` [download] Note that the solution in both forms is already presented in "READING THE CONFIGURATION FILE" section of pod.

Doing that just leads me into a problem in the next line: `Can't call method "param" on an undefined value at kenesis.pl line 92, <STDIN> line1.` My Syntax on that line, and the ones to follow, is/are just like the one posted in ACCESSING VALUES section of that documentation. `@player = $cfg->param("player");` The configuration file that I am working with is using the "Simple" syntax. Sorry for all of the trouble over this.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
