perl-MooseX-ConfigFromFile

An abstract Moose role for setting attributes from a configfile

This is an abstract role which provides an alternate constructor for creating objects using parameters passed in from a configuration file. The actual implementation of reading the configuration file is left to concrete sub-roles. It declares an attribute 'configfile' and a class method 'new_with_config', and requires that concrete roles derived from it implement the class method 'get_config_from_file'. Attributes specified directly as arguments to 'new_with_config' supersede those in the configfile. the MooseX::Getopt manpage knows about this abstract role, and will use it if available to load attributes from the file specified by the command line flag '--configfile' during its normal 'new_with_options'.
