NAME
    Config::Dot::Array - Module for simple configure file parsing with
    arrays.

SYNOPSIS
     my $cnf = Config::Dot::Array->new(%params);

     my $struct_hr = $cnf->parse($string_or_array_ref);
     $cnf->reset;
     my $serialized = $cnf->serialize;

METHODS
  "new"
    Constructor.

    *       "callback"

            Callback code for adding parameter. Callback arguments are:

             $key_ar - Reference to array with keys.
             $value - Key value.

            Default is undef.

    *       "config"

            Reference to hash structure with default config data. This is
            hash of hashes or arrays structure.

            Default value is reference to blank hash.

    *       "set_conflicts"

            Set conflicts detection as error.

            Default value is 1.

  "parse"
     my $struct_hr = $cnf->parse($string_or_array_ref);

    Parse string $string_or_array_ref or reference to array
    $string_or_array_ref and returns structure.

    Returns reference to hash.

  "reset"
     $cnf->reset;

    Reset content in class (config parameter).

    Returns undef.

  "serialize"
     my $serialized = $cnf->serialize;

    Serialize 'config' parameter hash to output.

    Returns string.

PARAMETER_FILE
     # Comment.
     # blabla

     # White space.
     /^\s*$/

     # Parameters.
     # Key must be '[-\w\.:,]+'.
     # Separator is '='.
     key=val
     key2.subkey.subkey=val

     # Arrays.
     key3=val1
     key3=val2

ERRORS
     new():
             Bad 'config' parameter.
             Parameter 'callback' isn't code reference.
             From Class::Utils::set_params():
                     Unknown parameter '%s'.

     parse():
             Bad key '%s' in string '%s' at line '%s'.
             From Config::Utils::hash_array():
                     Conflict in '%s'.

EXAMPLE1
     use strict;
     use warnings;

     use Config::Dot::Array;
     use Dumpvalue;

     # Object.
     my $struct_hr = Config::Dot::Array->new->parse(<<'END');
     key1=value1
     key2=value2
     key2=value3
     key3.subkey1=value4
     key3.subkey1=value5
     END

     # Dump
     my $dump = Dumpvalue->new;
     $dump->dumpValues($struct_hr);

     # Output:
     # 0  HASH(0x9970430)
     #    'key1' => 'value1'
     #    'key2' => ARRAY(0x9970660)
     #       0  'value2'
     #       1  'value3'
     #    'key3' => HASH(0x9970240)
     #       'subkey1' => ARRAY(0xa053658)
     #          0  'value4'
     #          1  'value5'

EXAMPLE2
     use strict;
     use warnings;

     use Config::Dot::Array;

     # Object with data.
     my $c = Config::Dot::Array->new(
             'config' => {

                             'subkey1' => 'value1',
                     },
                     'key2' => [
                             'value2',
                             'value3',
                     ],
             },
     );

     # Serialize.
     print $c->serialize."\n";

     # Output:
     # key1=subkey1.value1
     # key2=value2
     # key2=value3

EXAMPLE3
     use strict;
     use warnings;

     use Config::Dot::Array;
     use Dumpvalue;

     # Object.
     my $struct_hr = Config::Dot::Array->new(
             'callback' => sub {
                    my ($key_ar, $value) = @_;
                    if ($key_ar->[0] eq 'key3' && $key_ar->[1] eq 'subkey1'
                            && $value eq 'value3') {

                            return 'FOOBAR';
                    }
                    return $value;
             },
     )->parse(<<'END');
     key1=value1
     key2=value2
     key3.subkey1=value3
     key3.subkey1=value4
     END

     # Dump
     my $dump = Dumpvalue->new;
     $dump->dumpValues($struct_hr);

     # Output:
     # 0  HASH(0x87d05e8)
