Monitoring::Plugin::Config is a subclass of the excellent Config::Tiny,
with the following changes:
.IP "\(bu" 4
Repeated keys are allowed within sections, returning lists instead of scalars
.IP "\(bu" 4
Write functionality has been removed i.e. access is read only
.IP "\(bu" 4
Monitoring::Plugin::Config searches for a default nagios plugins file if no explicit
filename is given to \f(CW\*(C`read()\*(C'\fR. The current standard locations checked are:
.RS 4

To use a custom location, set a \f(CW\*(C`NAGIOS_CONFIG_PATH\*(C'\fR environment variable
to the set of directories that should be checked. The first \f(CW\*(C`plugins.ini\*(C'\fR or
\&\f(CW\*(C`nagios\-plugins.ini\*(C'\fR file found will be used.
