That's wrong. There is a section about save_file() in the docs. Read at http://search.cpan.org/~tlinden/Config-General-2.37/General.pm#SUBROUTINES/METHODS

No. There's an option "-Tie" which can be supplied to new(). It takes a Tie class name as argument. The docs are explaining it:

"You could, for example supply a tied hash, say Tie::DxHash, which preserves ordering of the keys in the config."

So, just read the docs. Try "perldoc Config::General".

This is a very good concept and I love to use it. But there are some missing items in the documentation, such as "save_file". Also, when saving back to a config file the order and formatting is rearranged. I know the formatting can be altered, but no way or documentation has been found on how to do so.

Just trying to help. Aside from that, it's really an amazing piece of Perl. Way to go!

Config-General (2.21)

Easy to implement and a whole slew of features and options. The configuration files for programs using this module are in an apache style, so no more smb.conf madness. (:

Best feature i like is the ability to load a config, munge it and save it again.

An excellent module for creating "apache-like" configuration. Every program using Perl should use this for his configuration file.
