=head1 NAME

Config::Onion - Layered configuration, because configs are like ogres

=head1 VERSION

version 1.004

=head1 SYNOPSIS

  my $cfg = Config::Onion->new;
  my $cfg = Config::Onion->set_default(db => {name => 'foo', password => 'bar'});
  my $cfg = Config::Onion->load('/etc/myapp', './myapp');
  my $cfg = Config::Onion->load_glob('./plugins/*');

  $cfg->set_default(font => 'Comic Sans');
  $cfg->load('config');
  $cfg->load_glob('conf.d/myapp*');
  $cfg->set_override(font => 'Arial');

  my $dbname = $cfg->get->{db}{name};
  my $plain_hashref_conf = $cfg->get;
  my $dbpassword = $plain_hashref_conf->{db}{password};

=head1 DESCRIPTION

All too often, configuration is not a universal or one-time thing, yet most
configuration-handling treats it as such.  Perhaps you can only load one config
file.  If you can load more than one, you often have to load all of them at the
same time or each is stored completely independently, preventing one from being
able to override another.  Config::Onion changes that.

Config::Onion stores all configuration settings in four layers: Defaults,
Main, Local, and Override.  Each layer can be added to as many times as you
like.  Within each layer, settings which are given multiple times will take the
last specified value, while those which are not repeated will remain untouched.

  $cfg->set_default(name => 'Arthur Dent', location => 'Earth');
  $cfg->set_default(location => 'Magrathea');
  # In the Default layer, 'name' is still 'Arthur Dent', but 'location' has
  # been changed to 'Magrathea'.

Regardless of the order in which they are set, values in Main will always
override values in the Default layer, the Local layer always overrides both
Default and Main, and the Override layer overrides all the others.

The design intent for each layer is:

=over 4

=item * Default

Hardcoded default values to be used when no further configuration is present

=item * Main

Values loaded from standard configuration files shipped with the application

=item * Local

Values loaded from local configuration files which are kept separate to prevent
them from being overwritten by application upgrades, etc.

=item * Override

Settings provided at run-time which take precendence over all configuration
files, such as settings provided via command line switches

=back

=head1 METHODS

=head2 new

Returns a new, empty configuration object.

=head2 load(@file_stems)

Loads files matching the given stems using C<< Config::Any->load_stems >> into
the Main layer.  Also concatenates ".local" to each stem and loads matching
files into the Local layer.  e.g., C<< $cfg->load('myapp') >> would load
C into Main and C into Local.  All filename
extensions supported by C are recognized along with their
corresponding formats.

=head2 load_glob(@globs)

Uses the Perl C function to expand each parameter into a list of
filenames and loads each file using C.  Files whose names contain
the string ".local." are loaded into the Local layer.  All other files are
loaded into the Main layer.

=head2 set_default([\%settings,...,] %settings)

=head2 set_override([\%settings,...,] %settings)

Imports C<%settings> into the Default or Override layer.  Accepts settings both
as a plain hash and as hash references, but, if the two are mixed, all hash
references must appear at the beginning of the parameter list, before any
non-hashref settings.

=head1 PROPERTIES

=head2 cfg

=head2 get

Returns the complete configuration as a hash reference.

=head2 default

=head2 main

=head2 local

=head2 override

These properties each return a single layer of the configuration.  This is
not likely to be useful other than for debugging.  For most other purposes,
you probably want to use C instead.

=head2 prefix_key

If set, enables the Prefix Structures functionality described below when using
the C or C methods.  The value of C specifies the
name of the key under which the prefix structure may be found.

Default value is C.

=head1 Prefix Structures

If you find that your configuration structure is becoming unwieldy due to
deeply-nested structures, you can define a file-specific "prefix structure"
and all other settings within that file will be loaded as children of the
prefix structure.  For example, if your main program uses

  $cfg = Config::Onion->new(prefix_key => '_prefix');
  $cfg->load("myapp/config");

and C contains

  _prefix:
    foo:
      bar:

  baz: 1

then C<$cfg> will contain the configuration

  foo:
    bar:
      baz: 1

Note that the top-level C is removed.

There are some limitations on the prefix structure, in order to keep it sane
and deterministic.  First, the prefix structure may only contain hashes.
Second, each hash must contain exactly one key.  Finally, the value associated
with the final key must be left undefined.
