Config::Propert ies - How to read properties/ini file in perl?

25 New Member
Hi,

I am new to perl.Basically I am from java.Now I am getting error while i reading the configuration parameters in perl.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use Config::Propert ies;
# reading...
open PROPS, "< input.propertie s"
or die "unable to open configuration file";
my $properties = new Config::Propert ies();
$properties->load(*PROPS) ;

$value = $properties->getProperty( $key );
print $value;

I am running this file on UNIX by executing the following command.
$perl test.pl

I am getting the following error.
Can't locate Config/Properties.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/aix /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1/aix /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.1 /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl .) at test.pl line 3.
BEGIN failed--compilation aborted at test.pl line 3.

Can anybody please help me?

Thanks,
Bhavani

Ok, to begin with, since you are executing this on a Unix platform, you don't need to specify "perl" in front of the script when you execute it. All you need to do is have the 'shebang' line (first in your script), which points to the Perl interpreter, and the script needs to be set to executable. After that, you can simply supply the script name as such:

./script.pl

As for your error, that would typically indicate that the Config::Propert ies module is not installed on the machine that you are executing this script on. I would recommend you read the documentation on CPAN on How To Install Modules as it will assist you in getting it installed. If you have any questions, be sure to post them and we will help wherever we can.

Regards,

Jeff

Hi all, I was trying to find an easy way to write in the standard configuration (like app.config) xml-based files. I found classes that can be used to read this information (in System.Configuration) like the ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings property, but I was not able to find anything to write app settings in these files. Isn't this kind of "asymmetrical"? Anyone familiar with the reasons of such a lack? Thanks a lot,
