OpusVL::SysParams - Module to handle system wide parameters The idea is to allow the storage and retrieval of system wide parameters. The OpusVL::SysParams is the main interface onto this storage and provides simple get/set methods. This uses a DBIx::Class::Schema to store the data. If you want to integrate this into an existing DBIx::Class Schema you can use a Role to apply to your schema to inject the necessary tables and a schema level sys_params object. # in your schema class. with 'OpusVL::SysParams::RolesFor::Schema'; OpusVL::SysParams::RolesFor::Schema->setup_sysparams(__PACKAGE__); # now anywhere that has access to the schema can access the # sys_params object. $schema->sys_params->get('param.name'); To use it stand alone you can use a regular Catalyst style config file to initialise the schema. If the constructor is called without a schema specified it will attempt to load up a schema based on a config file in the catalyst style for the name 'OpusVL::SysParams'. This config file should have a Model::SysParams section containing the config. connect_info dbi:Pg:dbname=test1 connect_info user connect_info password Note that you must specify at least 2 connect_info parameters even if you are using SQLite otherwise the code will crash. Set the environment variable OPUSVL_SYSPARAMS_CONFIG if you want to make sure you know where it will pull it's config from. $ENV{OPUSVL_SYSPARAMS_CONFIG} = $filename; INSTALLATION To install this module, run the following commands: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install LICENSE AND COPYRIGHT Copyright (C) 2011 OpusVL This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the same terms as Perl itself.
