lib/Advanced/Config/Options.pm  view on Meta::CPAN

By default, the I<basename> of the config file's name and the tag's name are the
keys used to encode each value in the config file.  This means that each tag's
value in the config file uses a different key to obscure it.  But by using just
the defaults, anyone using this module may automatically decode everything in
the config file just by writing a perl program that uses this module.

But by using the options below, you gain additional security even without using
true encryption.  Since if you don't know the options used, you can't easily
decode each tag's value even by examining the code.  Just be aware that using
too many keys with too similar values could cancel each other out and weaken
the results.

These options are ignored if you've disabled decryption.

When you source in another file in your config files, the current values
for B<alias>, B<pass_phrase> and B<encrypt_by_user> are not inherited.  But the
remaining options are.  See option B<source_cb> if you need to set them in this
case.
