I see that this line should be quoted. Couple of others as well.
Would work with modern shells but would fail with many others.

That line does not need quotes in any Bourne-type shell.

I haven't worked in ksh for over a year. However I tend to use $() instead of ``.

Backticks would be just as wrong as $( ... ), and for exactly the same reason.

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
