Summary

0000006: Parsing with an invalid config file results in warnings and "Unsupported input format specified." error

Description

When calling the parser with a non-existant config file, the parser defaults to defaults.conf. When this config file is empty, as shipped, the parser generates some warnings and errors, which are not easy to link to the missing config file

Additional Information

(Windows XP w/ ActivePerl 5.8.8 Build 820)
Steps to reproduce:
-Make sure you are in the irc-collective dir
-Make sure the conf/eggdrop.conf is valid
-call `perl parselog --with-config=eggdrop.conf`

Current result:
the parser returns:
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at parselog line 106.
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at parselog line 106.
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at parselog line 106.
Use of uninitialized value in string ne at parselog line 106.
Unsupported input format specified. Please invoke script with --help for a list
of supported input types."

Expected result:
Some kind of message to indicate the eggdrop.conf was not found.
Optionally suggest that the user must include the 'conf/' path, i.e. `perl parselog --with-config=conf/eggdrop.conf`

Notes
(0000006) rjm (developer) 2007-07-22 22:04	The default config file has been removed and will nog longer be loaded. Having a default config file is bogus anyway. In addition; the error messages have been improved.
