NAME

Poet::Manual::Configuring - Built-in Poet configuration options

DESCRIPTION

This is a list of configuration keys used by Poet itself. These may be placed in any Poet conf file, e.g. "local.cfg" or "conf/global/*.cfg".

Entries like "foo.bar" can be listed either in dot notation

    foo.bar: 5

or as part of a hash:

    foo:
       bar: 5

See Dot notation for details.

cache

The entire hash under this entry will be passed to Poet::Cache->config(). See Poet::Cache for examples. e.g.

   cache:
      defaults:
         expires_variance: 0.2
      storage:
         file:
            driver: File
            root_dir: ${root}/data/cache
         memcached:
            driver: Memcached
            servers: ["10.0.0.15:11211", "10.0.0.15:11212"]
            compress_threshold: 4096
      namespace:
         /some/component:       { storage: file, expires_in: 5min }
         /some/other/component: { storage: memcached, expires_in: 1h }
         Some::Library:         { storage: memcached, expires_in: 10min }
    

env.bin_dir, env.comps_dir, etc.

These entries affect what is returned from "$poet->bin_dir", "$poet->bin_path", "$poet->comps_dir", etc., and thus where various Poet resources are kept. See Poet::Environment. For example, to move data and logs into external directories outside the environment:

    env:
      data_dir: /some/external/data/dir
      logs_dir: /some/external/logs/dir
    

log.defaults, log.category

Specify the log level, output location, and layout string for logging, in the default case and for particular categories respectively. See Poet::Log for examples. e.g.

    log:
      defaults:
        level: info
        output: poet.log
        layout: "%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss.SS} [%p] %c - %m - %F:%L - %P%n"
      class:
        CHI:
          level: debug
          output: chi.log
          layout: "%d{dd/MMM/yyyy:HH:mm:ss.SS} %m - %P%n"
        MyApp::Foo:
          output: stdout
    

log.log4perl_conf

Bypass Poet's simplified logging configuration and specify a log4perl conf file directly. e.g.

    log:
      log4perl_conf: /path/to/log4perl.conf
    

mason

The hash under this entry will be treated as options that are passed to "Mason->new" for the main Mason instance, overriding any default options. See Poet::Mason. e.g.

    mason:
      static_source: 1
      static_source_touch_file: ${root}/data/purge.dat
    

server.default_content_type

Content type for requests that don't explicitly set one. Defaults to "text/html".

server.host

The IP address to listen on.

server.load_modules

A list of modules to load on server startup, e.g.

    server.load_modules:
       - DBI
       - List::Util
       - MyApp::Foo
       - MyApp::Bar
    

server.port

The port to listen on.
