1033+ By default, configuration is gathered from perl files with C<.pl > extension.
1034+ These files should yield a hash reference with configuration keys. To use an
1035+ alternative type of configuration files, L<Gears::App/config> should be
1036+ provided as a constructor argument, or declared in the application class. Perl
1037+ files allow additional symbols to be declared in them (as subroutines), and by
1038+ default C<app > symbol is declared, allowing you to easily provide complex data
1039+ in your configuration:
1040+
1041+ # conf/config.pl
1042+ {
1043+ # a custom configuration key, calling custom method from your
1044+ # application class
1045+ system_info => app->get_system_info,
