[LON-CAPA-dev] Using a loncapa.conf variable

[Scott Harrison]

Dear Highly Esteemed Sir:

loncapa/loncom/configuration/Configuration.pm has the API
for accessing LON-CAPA configuration variables.

For documentation, type
perldoc ./Configuration.pm

An example is from lond:
# ---------------------------------- Read loncapa_apache.conf and loncapa.conf
&status("Read loncapa.conf and loncapa_apache.conf");
my $perlvarref=LONCAPA::Configuration::read_conf('loncapa.conf');
my %perlvar=%{$perlvarref};
undef $perlvarref;

Regards,
Scott
