[PROPOSAL] Parse::PerlConfig

2000-02-22 Thread Michael Fowler
I just completed a module that parses (and I use the term loosely) symbols from a Perl script. What it basically does is read in a specified file, evals the file inside a specific namespace, then examines the namespace for symbols and extracts the various things (or datatypes, if you prefer) into
