ABSTRACT

       Config::Find plugin for Unixen

DESCRIPTION

       This module implements Config::Find for Unix

       The order for searching the config files is:

         1  ~/.$name                             [user]
         1b ~/.$name.conf                        [user]
         2  /$path_to_script/../etc/$name.conf   [global]
         3  /$path_to_script/../conf/$name.conf  [global]
         4  /etc/$name.conf                      [global]

       although if the environment variable $ENV{${name}_HOME} is defined it does

         1  ~/.$name                             [user]
         1b ~/.$name.conf                        [user]
         2  $ENV{${name}_HOME}/etc/$name.conf    [global]
         3  $ENV{${name}_HOME}/conf/$name.conf   [global]
         4  /etc/$name.conf                      [global]

       instead.

       When the "several configuration files in one directory" approach is used, the order is
       somewhat different:

         1  ~/.$dir/$name.conf                        [user]
         2  /$path_to_script/../etc/$dir/$name.conf   [global]
         3  /$path_to_script/../conf/$dir/$name.conf  [global]
         4  /etc/$dir/$name.conf                      [global]

       (also affected by $ENV{${name}_HOME})
