                     80: F<access.conf> is slowly becoming deprecated.  (We are currently

                     83: =head1 DESCRIPTION
                     84: 
                     85: Many different parts of the LON-CAPA software need to read in the machine-specific
                     86: configuration information.  These included scripts controlling the TCP/IP layer
                     87: (e.g. F<lonc> and F<lond>), testing scripts (e.g. test_weblayer.pl and sqltest.pl),
                     88: and utility scripts (e.g. clusterstatus.pl and metadata_keywords.pl).
                     89: 
                     90: The following methods are available:
                     91: 
                     92: =over 4
                     93: 
                     94: =item $perlvarref = LONCAPA::Configuration::read_conf( @filename_list );
                     95: 
                     96: On a typical LON-CAPA server, the filename list argument will consist of
                     97: just one element, "loncapa.conf".
                     98: 
                     99: If there are multiple elements within the filename list, then these
                    100: filenames are processed consecutively.
                    101: 
                    102: A hash reference is returned and consists of those values which
                    103: have been initialized from the configuration filenames indicated
                    104: in the arguments.
                    105: 
                    106: If multiple file names define the same hash key, then priority is
                    107: given toward the last file name processed.
                    108:
