NAME

    Config::Pg::ServiceFile - PostgreSQL connection service file parser

SYNOPSIS

        # ~/.pg_service.conf
    
        [foo]
        host=localhost
        port=5432
        user=foo
        dbname=db_foo
        password=password
    
        # your_program.pl
    
        use Config::Pg::ServiceFile;
    
        # {
        #     foo => {
        #         host     => 'localhost',
        #         post     => '5432',
        #         user     => 'foo',
        #         dbname   => 'db_foo',
        #         password => 'passwird',
        #     }
        # }
        my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_file('~/.pg_service.conf');

DESCRIPTION

    Config::Pg::ServiceFile is a parser for the PostgreSQL connection
    service file. The connection service file is based on the INI format,
    but uses a # as the comment character. As such, this is a simple module
    that subclasses Config::INI::Reader, and replaces the comment character
    accordingly.

    The accompanying module Pg::ServiceFile provides a better interface to
    the data stored in a PostgreSQL connection file. See Pg::ServiceFile
    for more information.

 METHODS

    Config::Pg::ServiceFile inherits all methods from Config::INI::Reader.

 read_file

        my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_file($filename);

    Given a filename, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that
    file.

 read_handle

        my $hash_ref = Config::Pg::ServiceFile->read_handle($io_handle);

    Given an IO::Handle, this method returns a hashref of the contents of
    that handle.

 read_string

        my $hash_ref = Config::INI::Reader->read_string($string);

    Given a string, this method returns a hashref of the contents of that
    string.
