=head1 NAME

Config::Any::General - Load Config::General files

=head1 DESCRIPTION

Loads Config::General files. Example:

    name = TestApp
    <Component Controller::Foo>
        foo bar
    </Component>
    <Model Baz>
        qux xyzzy
    </Model>

=head1 METHODS

=head2 extensions( )

return an array of valid extensions (C<cnf>, C<conf>).

=cut

sub extensions {
    return qw( cnf conf );
}

=head2 load( $file )

Attempts to load C<$file> via Config::General.

=cut

sub load {
    my $class = shift;
    my $file  = shift;

    # work around bug (?) in Config::General
#   return if $class->_test_perl($file);

    require Config::General;
    my $configfile = Config::General->new( $file );
    my $config     = { $configfile->getall };
    
    return $config;
}

# this is a bit of a hack but necessary, because Config::General is *far* too lax
# about what it will load -- specifically, it seems to be quite happy to load a Perl
# config file (ie, a file which is valid Perl and creates a hashref) as if it were
# an Apache-style configuration file, presumably due to laziness on the part of the
# developer.

sub _test_perl {
    my ($class, $file) = @_;
    my $is_perl_src;
    eval { $is_perl_src = do "$file"; };
    delete $INC{$file}; # so we don't screw stuff later on
    return defined $is_perl_src;
}
