Retrieving data from a structure in a config file

Example of a data config file under /cfg/cfg.d/example.pl

$c->{etd_ms}->{fields} = [
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:title', eprint_fieldname => 'title', type => 'simple_text', include_null_value => 1 },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:creator', eprint_fieldname => 'creators_name', type => 'name', multiple => 1},
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:subject', eprint_fieldname => 'keywords', type => 'simple_text', include_null_value => 1 },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:description', eprint_fieldname => 'abstract', type => 'simple_text' },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:publisher', eprint_fieldname => 'institution', type => 'simple_text' },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:contributor', eprint_fieldname => 'thesis_advisors_name', type => 'name', opts => { role => 'advisor' }, multiple => 1}, 
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:date', eprint_fieldname => 'date', type => 'simple_text' },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:type', type=> 'constant', value => "Electronic Thesis or Dissertation" },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:identifier', type => 'function', function => 'generate_etd_ms_item_identifier' }, 
	{ tagname => 'null', type => 'function', function => 'generate_etd_ms_document_tags' },
	{ tagname => 'etd_ms:degree', type => 'compound', parts => [
		{ tagname => 'etd_ms:name', type => 'simple_text', eprint_fieldname => 'thesis_degree_name' },
		{ tagname => 'etd_ms:level', type => 'simple_text', eprint_fieldname => 'thesis_type' },
		{ tagname => 'etd_ms:discipline', type => 'simple_text', eprint_fieldname => 'department' },
		{ tagname => 'etd_ms:grantor', type => 'simple_text', eprint_fieldname => 'institution' },
	] },
];

Retrieving values from this config file in an export plugin under /plugins/EPrints/Plugin/Export/example.pm

               my $fields = $session->get_conf('etd_ms','fields');					
               foreach my $field_conf (@{$fields})
		{
		   my $tags = $plugin->generate_tag($eprint, $field_conf);			
		   foreach my $tag (@{$tags})
		   {
					push @dcdata, ($tag) if $tag; 
		   }
		}
