Re: perl module to read config files?

["Jens B. Jorgensen" <jjorgens@bdsinc.com>]

Sounds like a perfect job for bison and flex. Having looked at the syntax of
the new files I'm guessing they follow a nice, strict (easy to program for)
syntax. If you get the source it's probably got a parser embedded in it. It
shouldn't be difficult to translate c to perl.
