NAME
     config_data - Query or change configuration of Perl modules

SYNOPSIS
       # Get config/feature values
       config_data --module Foo::Bar --feature bazzable
       config_data --module Foo::Bar --config magic_number

       # Set config/feature values
       config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_feature bazzable=1
       config_data --module Foo::Bar --set_config magic_number=42

       # Print a usage message
       config_data --help

DESCRIPTION
     The "config_data" tool provides a command-line interface to
     the configuration of Perl modules.  By "configuration", we
     mean something akin to "user preferences" or "local
     settings".  This is a formalization and abstraction of the
     systems that people like Andreas Koenig ("CPAN::Config"),
     Jon Swartz ("HTML::Mason::Config"), Andy Wardley
     ("Template::Config"), and Larry Wall (perl's own Config.pm)
     have developed independently.

     The configuration system emplyed here was developed in the
     context of "Module::Build".  Under this system,
     configuration information for a module "Foo", for example,
     is stored in a module called "Foo::ConfigData") (I would
     have called it "Foo::Config", but that was taken by all
     those other systems mentioned in the previous paragraph...).
     These "...::ConfigData" modules contain the configuration
     data, as well as publically accessible methods for querying
     and setting (yes, actually re-writing) the configuration
     data.  The "config_data" script (whose docs you are
     currently reading) is merely a front-end for those methods.
     If you wish, you may create alternate front-ends.

     The two types of data that may be stored are called "config"
     values and "feature" values.  A "config" value may be any
     perl scalar, including references to complex data
     structures.  It must, however, be serializable using
     "Data::Dumper".  A "feature" is a boolean (1 or 0) value.

USAGE
     This script functions as a basic getter/setter wrapper
     around the configuration of a single module.  On the command
     line, specify which module's configuration you're interested
     in, and pass options to get or set "config" or "feature"
     values.  The following options are supported:

     module

         Specifies the name of the module to configure
         (required).

     feature
         When passed the name of a "feature", shows its value.
         The value will be 1 if the feature is enabled, 0 if the
         feature is not enabled, or empty if the feature is
         unknown.  When no feature name is supplied, the names
         and values of all known features will be shown.

     config
         When passed the name of a "config" entry, shows its
         value.  The value will be displayed using "Data::Dumper"
         (or similar) as perl code.  When no config name is
         supplied, the names and values of all known config
         entries will be shown.

     set_feature
         Sets the given "feature" to the given boolean value.
         Specify the value as either 1 or 0.

     set_config
         Sets the given "config" entry to the given value.

     eval
         If the "--eval" option is used, the values in
         "set_config" will be evaluated as perl code before being
         stored.  This allows moderately complicated data
         structures to be stored.  For really complicated
         structures, you probably shouldn't use this command-line
         interface, just use the Perl API instead.

     help
         Prints a help message, including a few examples, and
         exits.
