Config-Versioned Config::Versioned allows an application to access configuration parameters not only by parameter name, but also by version number. This allows for the configuration subsystem to store previous versions of the configuration parameters. When requesting the value for a specific attribute, the programmer specifies whether to fetch the most recent value or a previous value. This is useful for long-running tasks such as in a workflow-based application where task-specific values (e.g.: profiles) are static over the life of a workflow, while global values (e.g.: name of an LDAP server to be queried) should always be the most recent. Config::Versioned handles the versions by storing the configuration data in an internal Git repository. Each import of configuration files into the repository is documented with a commit. When a value is fetched, it is this commit that is referenced directly when specifying the version. The access to the individual attributes is via a named-parameter scheme, where the key is a dot-separated string. Currently, Config::Std is used for the import of the data files into the internal Git repository. Support for other configuration modules (e.g.: Config::Any) is planned.
