search.cpan.org suggests Config::ApacheFormat [1] Apache::ConfigFile [2] and Apache::ConfigParser [3] although none will do what you want they might be a starter for a parser. There was some discussion on the nms-devel list a while back about creating such a beast. It would be cool to tie the projects together. It shouldn't be too hard to parse out just the bits you want from an .htaccess file, esp. as just about the only thing people use them for these days is for configuring security without restarting the web server, in my experience. Let me know if you want a hand with it. Simon.
