DESCRIPTION

       Routines for dealing with colon-delimited configuration files.

FUNCTIONS

       read_config(PATH, HASHREF)
           Reads the configuration file located at PATH into a hash and returns it. When also passed a HASHREF,
           will fill that instead.

       write_config(TEST_CASE, PATH)
           Write the config described by hash reference TEST_CASE to the file named PATH.

       read_field_from_file(FIELD, FILE)
           Returns the list of lines from file FILE which start with the string FIELD followed by a colon. The
           string FIELD and the colon are removed from each line.
