BIND::Config::Parser(3pm)				User Contributed Perl Documentation				 BIND::Config::Parser(3pm)

NAME
BIND::Config::Parser - Parse BIND Config file. SYNOPSIS
use BIND::Config::Parser; # Create the parser my $parser = new BIND::Config::Parser; my $indent = 0; # Set up callback handlers $parser->set_open_block_handler( sub { print " " x $indent, join( " ", @_ ), " { "; $indent++; } ); $parser->set_close_block_handler( sub { $indent--; print " " x $indent, "}; "; } ); $parser->set_statement_handler( sub { print " " x $indent, join( " ", @_ ), "; "; } ); # Parse the file $parser->parse_file( "named.conf" ); DESCRIPTION
BIND::Config::Parser provides a lightweight parser to the configuration file syntax of BIND v8 and v9 using a "Parse::RecDescent" grammar. It is in a similar vein to "BIND::Conf_Parser". However, as it has no knowledge of the directives, it doesn't need to be kept updated as new directives are added, it simply knows how to carve up a BIND configuration file into logical chunks. CONSTRUCTOR
new( ); Create a new "BIND::Config::Parser" object. METHODS
set_open_block_handler( CODE_REF ); Set the code to be called when a configuration block is opened. At least one argument will be passed; the name of that block, for example "options" or "zone", etc. as well as any additional items up to but not including the opening curly brace. set_close_block_handler( CODE_REF ); Set the code to be called when a configuration block is closed. No arguments are passed. set_statement_handler( CODE_REF ); Set the code to be called on a single line configuration element. At least one argument will be passed; the name of that element, as well as any additional items up to but not including the ending semi-colon. parse_file( FILENAME ); Parse FILENAME, triggering the above defined handlers on the relevant sections. TODO
Probably the odd one or two things. I'm fairly sure the grammar is correct. COPYRIGHT AND LICENSE
