NW]
NW] Yeah, I checked out AppConfig, and I actually emailed the author about
NW] modifying it a little so I could use it as a base class possibly for
NW] Apache::Config. Unfortunately, I haven't heard anything back yet.
NW] AppConfig would be a great base class, the only problem is that:
NW]
NW] # it handles comments like this
NW]
NW] # but not like this
NW]
NW] that's the only sticking point to not being able to extend AppConfig.
NW] Hopefully I'll hear something back from him. The fix is just the
NW] addition of a \s* to a regexp.
Yeah, at least the author could let the subclass to override
some aspects. The comment for example, smb.conf and php.ini
use `;' as well.

NW]
NW] Not bad - I like the idea for an extension.
NW]
NW] I'll keep plugging away on it then, hopefully the author of AppConfig
NW] will get back to me as that would help save some work, but regardless
NW] the parsing of the httpd.conf is not really that hard in and of itself.
NW] I'll use the name Apache::Config unless I hear otherwise.
So you may want to take a time to confirm the name to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
NW] Thanks again to everyone who responded for their input!
Good luck with the project!
