Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin and Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf

[John Rudd <jr...@ucsc.edu>]

So, Mail::SpamAssassin::Plugin says, in the doc section for 
parse_config, that I should store my config data in a 
Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf object (and that the one I should use is both 
passed into the options for parse_config and can be accessed as 
$plugin->{main}->{conf}).

But, Mail::SpamAssassin::Conf 's perldoc page is not at all oriented 
around a programming API approach, so I have no idea how to treat that 
object.


What I've done for my next release of RelayChecker is treat it just like 
a hash.

$self->{main}->{conf}->{mysetting} = $value


Is that correct, or not?  Or should I be accessing this object as ... 
well ... an object (ie. via methods, instead of directly accessing its 
data).  If that's the case, which perldoc page explains the conf 
object's methods and such?
