in reply to AppConfig

You neglect to mention the documentation, which, to put it mildly, is severly lacking.

From what I can make out the interface also seems to be a little umm interesting. Namely having undefined methods default to getting a variable of the same name. This results in an inconsistent interface for fetching variables of the same name as an existing method...

UPDATE: While trying to figure out how to use this module I came across this IBM tutorial.

    Outstanding follow-up with the reference, belg4mit++. Indeed, the documentation with the AppConfig module is a hard read. I fought it for several hours recently and it was an irritating experience.

      Maybe it's gotten better since then, but I haven't had any trouble with AppConfig's docs.
