Gnome2::gconf allows a perl developer to use the gconf configuration system to store/retrieve the configuration of an application.

the gconf system is a powerful configuration manager based on a user daemon that handles a set of key and value pairs, and notifies any changes of the value to every program that monitors those keys. gconf is used by gnome 2.x.

find out more about gnome at http://www.gnome.org.

the perl bindings follow the c api very closely, and the c reference documentation should be considered the canonical source: http://developer.gnome.org/doc/api/2.0/gconf/index.html

this module is part of gtk2-perl.
