=head1 NAME

Dancer::Config::Object - Access the config via methods instead of hashrefs

=head1 VERSION

version 1.3500

=head1 DESCRIPTION

If C<strict_config> is set to a true value in the configuration, the
C<config()> subroutine will return an object instead of a hashref. Instead of
this:

 my $serializer = config->{serializer};
 my $username   = config->{auth}{username};

You get this:

 my $serializer = config->serializer;
 my $username   = config->auth->username;

This helps to prevent typos. If you mistype a configuration name:

 my $pass = config->auth->pass;

An exception will be thrown, tell you it can't find the method name, but
listing available methods:

 Can't locate config attribute "pass".
 Available attributes: password, username

If the hash key cannot be converted into a proper method name, you can still
access it via a hash reference:

 my $some_value = config->{'99_bottles'};

And call methods on it, if possible:

 my $sadness = config->{'99_more_bottles'}->last_bottle;

Hash keys pointing to hash references will in turn have those "objectified".
Arrays will still be returned as array references. However, hashrefs inside of
the array refs may still have their keys allowed as methods:

 my $some_value = config->some_list->[1]->host;

=head1 METHOD NAME DEFINITION

We use the following regular expression to determine if a hash key qualifies
as a method:

 /^[[:alpha:]_][[:word:]]*$/;

Note that this means C<naïve> (note the dots over the i) can be a method name,
but unless you C<use utf8;> to declare that your source code is UTF-8, you may
have disappointing results calling C<< config->naïve >>. Further, depending on
your version of Perl and the software to read your config file ... well, you
get the idea. We recommend sticking with ASCII identifiers if you wish your
code to be portable.

Patches/suggestions welcome.
