=head1 NAME

Catalyst::Plugin::Setenv - Allows you to set up the environment from Catalyst's config file.

=head1 VERSION

Version 0.02

=cut

our $VERSION = '0.02';

=head1 SYNOPSIS

In your application:

    use Catalyst qw/Setenv/;

In your config file:

    environment:
      FOO: bar
      BAR: baz

When your app starts, C<$ENV{FOO}> will be "bar", and C<$ENV{BAR}> will be
"baz".

You can also append and prepend to existing environment variables.
For example, if C<$PATH> is C</bin:/usr/bin>, you can append
C</myapp/bin> by writing:

   environment:
     PATH: "::/myapp/bin"

After that, C<$PATH> will be set to C</bin:/usr/bin:/myapp/bin>.  You
can prepend, too:

   environment:
     PATH: "/myapp/bin::"

which yields C</myapp/bin:/bin:/usr/bin>.

If you want a literal colon at the beginning or end of the environment
variable, escape it with a C<\>, like C<\:foo> or C<foo\:>.  Note that
slashes aren't meaningful elsewhere, they're inserted verbatim into
the relevant environment variable.

=head1 EXPORT

A list of functions that can be exported.  You can delete this section
if you don't export anything, such as for a purely object-oriented module.

=head1 FUNCTIONS

=head2 setup

Calls the other setup methods, and then sets the environment variables.

=cut

sub setup {
    my $c = shift;
    
    $c->NEXT::setup(@_);
    
    my $env = $c->config->{environment};
    return unless ref $env eq 'HASH';

    foreach my $key (keys %$env){
	my $value = $env->{$key};
	
	if($value =~ /^:(.+)$/){
	    $ENV{$key} .= $1;
	}
	elsif($value =~ /^(.+[^\\]):$/){
	    $ENV{$key} = $1. $ENV{$key};
	}
	else {
	    $value =~ s/(^\\:|\\:$)/:/;
	    $value =~ s/(^\\\\:|\\\\:$)/\\:/;

	    $ENV{$key} = $value;
	}
    }
    
    return;
}

=head1 BUGS

=head2 Escaping

Things like "\:foo" can't be literally inserted into an environment
variable, due to my simplistic escaping scheme.  Patches to fix this
(but not interpert C<\>s anywhere else) are welcome.
