Item10651: PERL cfg settings are broken

it used to be that you could add

$Foswiki::cfg{Store}{Listeners}{'Foswiki::Plugins::MongoDBPlugin::Listener'} = 1; in a contrib's Config.spec, and it would add to the core's $Foswiki::cfg{Store}{Listeners} setting

but no longer.

somewhere along the way configure also saved the $Foswiki::cfg{Store}{Listeners} setting i entered into configure as a string, which broke foswiki badly

Target release is left n/a. Is this trunk only?

i'm not sure - found it and had to move on

-- SvenDowideit - 21 Apr 2011

This happens if the Config.spec uses an illegal type (or missing type) for that setting (see the CompareRevisionsAddOn mess I caused).

Judging from my experience fixing and testing that contrib, I don't think we have a problem here. Sven, how do you feel about closing this task? I've assigned to minor so it doesn't show up for 1.1.4

This has been waiting for Sven for 18 months, so cannot be classed as Urgent. Downgrading to Low.

Concluded this is junk.
