It also has options for detecting if the data in the config file has been
updated since you loaded it into memory and allows you to refresh the
configuration object.  So that your long running programs never have to execute
against stale configuration data.

This module supports config file features such as variable substitution,
sourcing in other config files, comments, breaking your configuration data
up into sections, encryping/decrypting individual tag values, and even more ...

So feel free to experiment with this module on the best way to access your
data in your config files.  And never have to worry about having multiple
versions of your config files again for Production vs Development vs QA vs
different OS, etc.

=head1 NOTES ON FUNCTIONS WITH MULTIPLE RETURN VALUES

Whenever a function in this module or one if it's helper modules says it can
have multiple return values and you ask for them in scalar mode, it only returns
the first return value.  The other return values are tossed.  Not the count of
return values as some might expect.

	Appendix: How to Apply These Terms to Your New Programs

  If you develop a new program, and you want it to be of the greatest
possible use to humanity, the best way to achieve this is to make it
free software which everyone can redistribute and change under these
terms.

  To do so, attach the following notices to the program.  It is safest to
attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey
the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the
"copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

    <one line to give the program's name and a brief idea of what it does.>

# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Reporting a bug in Advanced::Config
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Support is very limited, but I will do my best to help resolve any problems
you have with my module if you provide the following files demonstrating the
bug/issue you are hitting.
 1) A sample config file.
 2) A sample program that uses the config file and demonstrates the bug.
 3) The fish log generated.  (optional)  But I'll request one if the issue
    isn't reproducable on my end with what you gave me.

If it's a true bug, I'll probably use your sample program as the basis for a
new test case in a future release.

=item $date = parse_date ( $date_str, $order[, $allow_dl[, $enable_2_digit_years]] );

Passed a date in some unknown format, it does it's best to parse it and return
the date in S<YYYY-MM-DD> format if it's a valid date.  It returns B<undef> if
it can't find a valid date within I<$date_str>.

The date can be surrounded by other information in the string that will be
ignored.  So it will strip out just the date info in something like:
