INSTALLATION perl Makefile.PL make make test make install DESCRIPTION The purpose of this module is to define parse(). This function creates a namespace, reads in Perl code, evals it, and then examines the namespace's symbol table for scalars, hashes, arrays, subroutines, IO handles, and globs. It then does what you tell it to with these symbols. A NOTE ON THE VERSION Currently, Parse::PerlConfig is at a version below 1.0. This is mostly due to the fact that I have not received a lot of feedback regarding the module, so I can't determine if it's useful as it is or if there are major problems with it. The version is not meant to indicate the code's stability; I have been using it in various production projects and have yet to trip over a bug. The version is also not meant to indicate the interface's immaturity; although it is a fairly young module, I personally rely on the interface staying as it is, so most changes will be backwards compatible (I say most because 0.03 is ever-so-slightly not backwards compatible; see NEWS). So, Parse::PerlConfig is stable in both code (as far as I can tell) and interface.
