Dear Supporter The config file before running test.pl is: [SECTION] Entry1: Value1 and after running the script with def_gap => 0 is [SECTION] Entry1: Value1 NewEntry: NewValue I expected that the empty line after Entry1: Value1 is not written out when setting def_gap => 0. But this is not the case on my system. Do I oversee anything? I am using perl -v This is perl, v5.10.1 built for sun4-solaris-thread-multi-64 (with 2 registered patches, see perl -V for more detail) Copyright 1987-2009, Larry Wall Binary build 1006 [291086] provided by ActiveState http://www.ActiveState.com Built Aug 24 2009 13:42:31 using the latest Config::Std module perl -MConfig::Std -e 'print "$Config::Std::VERSION\n"' 0.901 on uname -a SunOS tbcompriv1 5.10 Generic_142900-04 sun4u sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise Many thanks for your help Regards Markus Show quoted text

On a quick reading, it appears def_gap=>0 should not remove existing whitespace, which we preserve at all costs; it only controls adding new whitespace around new entries. But the doc is ambiguous about between old and new entries, but i would tend to prefer your interpretation as least surprising and most useful. Was there a blank line (dual newlines) at the end of the file originally? If there is no blank line at the end of the input CFG file, i would agree this is an edge-case bug. If so, please attach your test script and (input) cfg file. Also, please indicate if this is urgent production critical. Happy New Year, Bill Ricker

Bill When shutting down my PC yesterday I realized that I have forgotten to attach my scripts to the mail. Please find them attached. u15679@tbcompriv1:~/monitoring$ cp test.cfg test.cfg.before u15679@tbcompriv1:~/monitoring$ test.pl u15679@tbcompriv1:~/monitoring$ cp test.cfg test.cfg.after I experimented with different settings but I could not manage to suppress the added newline before the line "NewEntry". The scripts attachad are stripped down to the bare minimum. I am preparing a monitoring script which monitors our MQ infrastructure and I plan to bring it into prod by mid-January. Your help is much appreciated. Thanks Markus Show quoted text
