Accessing Configuration Properties in Perl
Finally, whenever you need to access the value entered by the system administrator for a configuration directive, you can do so using some very simple Perl code:
use MT;
sub some_method {
my ($foo) = @_;
my $log = MT->config('CustomErrorLog');
# do stuff
}
Note: One thing of interest is the static reference to MT. MT is actually a singleton and as a result there is no need for a developer to instantiate an instance of MT each an every time they need to access its context.
