Config::IniFiles provides a way to have readable configuration files
outside your Perl script. The configuration can be safely reloaded upon
receipt of a signal. Configurations can be imported (inherited,
stacked,...), sections can be grouped, and settings can be accessed from
a tied hash.

USAGE

Get a new Config::IniFiles object with the *new* method:

    $cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => "/path/configfile.ini" );
    $cfg = new Config::IniFiles -file => "/path/configfile.ini";

Optional named parameters may be specified after the configuration file
name. See the *new* in the METHODS section, below.

INI files consist of a number of sections, each preceeded with the
section name in square brackets. Parameters are specified in each section
as Name=Value. Any spaces around the equals sign will be i gnored, and the
value extends to the end of the line.
