libconfig-model-itself-perl - 2.023-1 main

Config::Model::Itself module is a plugin for cme which provides a
Perl/Tk graphical interface to edit configuration models that are be
used by Config::Model.
.
Config::Model::Itself also provides a model for Config::Model
(hence the Itself name, you can also think of it as a meta-model).
The model editor will use this meta-model to construct the graphical
interface so you can edit the configuration model for *your*
application. [ Config::Model::Itself is the "eat your own dog food" principle
applied to Config::Model ;-) ]
.
Let's step back a little to explain. Any configuration data is, in
essence, structured data. This data could be stored, for instance, in
an XML file. A configuration model is a way to describe the structure
and relation of all items of a configuration data set.
.
This configuration model is also expressed as structured data. This
structure data is structured and follows a set of rules which are
described for humans in Config::Model.
.
The structure and rules documented in Config::Model are also expressed
in a model in the files provided with Config::Model::Itself.
.
Hence the possibity to verify, modify configuration data provided by
Config::Model can also be applied on configuration models.
.
