# ENV-Util
Parse prefixed environment variables and dotnev (.env) files into Perl

## Synopsis

Efficiently load a '.env' file into %ENV:

    use ENV::Util -load_dotenv;

Turn all %ENV keys that match a prefix into a lowercased config hash:

    use ENV::Util;

    my %cfg = ENV::Util::prefix2hash('MYAPP_');
    # MYAPP_SOME_OPTION becomes $cfg{ some_option }

Safe dump of %ENV without tokens or passwords:

    use ENV::Util;
    my %masked_env = ENV::Util::redacted_env();
    say $masked_env{token_secret}; # '<redacted>'
