+=head1 NAME
+
+App::BorgRestore::Settings - Settings package
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+App::BorgRestore::Settings searches for configuration files in the following locations in
+order. The first file found will be used, any later ones are ignored. If no
+files are found, defaults are used.
+
+=over
+
+=item * $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/borg-restore.cfg
+
+=item * /etc/borg-restore.cfg
+
+=back
+
+=head2 Configuration Options
+
+You can set the following options in the config file.
+
+Note that the configuration file is parsed as a perl script. Thus you can also
+use any features available in perl itself.
+
+=over
+
+=item C<$borg_repo>
+
+This specifies the URL to the borg repo as used in other borg commands. If you
+use the $BORG_REPO environment variable leave this empty.
+
+=item C<$cache_path_base>
+
+This defaults to "C<$XDG_CACHE_HOME>/borg-restore.pl". It contains the lookup database.
+
+=item C<@backup_prefixes>
+
+This is an array of prefixes that need to be added when looking up a file in the
+backup archives. If you use filesystem snapshots and the snapshot for /home is
+located at /mnt/snapshots/home, you have to add the following:
+
+# In the backup archives, /home has the path /mnt/snapshots/home
+{regex => "^/home/", replacement => "mnt/snapshots/home/"},
+
+The regex must always include the leading slash and it is suggested to include
+a tailing slash as well to prevent clashes with directories that start with the
+same string. The first regex that matches for a given file is used. This
+setting only affects lookups, it does not affect the creation of the database
+with --update-database.

+ # /boot is not snapshotted
