Exercise: Parse ini file
An ini file has sections starting by the name of the section in square brackets and within each section there are key = value pairs with optional spaces around the "=" sign. The keys can only contain letters, numbers, underscore or dash. In addition there can be empty lines and lines starting with # which are comments.
Given a filename, generate a 2 dimensional hash and then print it out with Data::Dumper. Example ini file:
examples/regex-perl/inifile.ini
# comment [alpha] base = moon ship= alpha 3 [earth] # ? base=London ship= x-wing
Result
$VAR1 = { 'earth' => { 'base' => 'London', 'ship' => 'x-wing' }, 'alpha' => { 'base' => 'moon', 'ship' => 'alpha 3' } };
