# Perlbal::Plugin::Include(3pm)

Allows multiple, nesting configuration files

## NAME

Perlbal::Plugin::Include - Allows multiple, nesting configuration files

## DESCRIPTION

This module adds an INCLUDE command to the Perlbal management console and allows the globbed inclusion of configuration files.

## SYNOPSIS

This module provides a Perlbal plugin which can be loaded and used as follows:

```
    LOAD include
    INCLUDE = /etc/perlbal/my.conf
```

You may also specify multiple configuration files a la File::Glob:

```
    INCLUDE = /foo/bar.conf /foo/quux/*.conf
```

## BUGS AND LIMITATIONS

This module relies entirely on Perlbal::load\_config for loading, so if you have trouble with INCLUDE, be sure you can load the same configuration without error using "perlbal -c" first.

Also note that Perlbal::load\_config versions 1.60 and below do not use a local filehandle while reading the configuration file, so this module overrides that routine on load to allow nested calls.
