config_sh

Return the full configuration as one shell-assignment block.

Synopsis

use Config;
my $sh = Config::config_sh();

What you get back

A single scalar containing one line per entry in the form key='value', newline-terminated. The output is stable across calls and suitable for feeding into a shell eval or a line-based parser.

Examples

use Config;
for my $line (split /^/, Config::config_sh()) {
    print $line if $line =~ /^archname=/;
}

Edge cases

• Entries whose value is undef render as key='', matching how the tied hash reports them via EXISTS (true) and FETCH (undef).
