in reply to Need help fixing AppConfig error ("global_password: no such variable")

there are two possibilities:

  • ovverriding the error handler
    • my $config = AppConfig->new({
    GLOBAL =>
    {
        ARGCOUNT => ARGCOUNT_ONE,
        DEFAULT => "",
    },
    CREATE => 1,
    ERROR => sub {}
});

  • defining the parameter manually
    • # config parameters that could eventually be empty
$config->define (qw (
        global_password
) );

    the second alternative is definitely to prefer.
