Dell - Internal Use - Confidential What would it take to enable Config::Hosts to add/modify/delete a comment for an entry in /etc/hosts ? More of a feature request than anything else, I guess ... From: Young, Ty Sent: Monday, June 16, 2014 8:52 AM To: 'roman@parparov.com' Subject: inquiry on Config::Hosts Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Hey Roman, thank you for providing the Config::Hosts CPAN module. I have a question about its usage, and I will confess that I'm not the world's most experienced Perl scripter. So I want to read in a local /etc/hosts file. My belief, from your documentation (perldoc Config::Hosts) is that I need to create a new object: my $hosts = Config::Hosts->new(); ... and then, to read the contents of /etc/hosts into a hash ... %lines = $hosts->read_hosts(); ... and then just cycle through each entry, evaluating it to see if it contains a valid IP: $valid = $hosts->determine_ip_or_host ($key); ... and test to see if $valid is a 1 or a -1. Is that basically it ? -ty Ty Young Sr Data Protection Engineer Data Management Team for Wolters Kluwer, USA 972-577-7957 (o) | 469-301-5821 (m) [dell_logo] Dell | Dedicated Infrastructure Services Delivery

What's this "Dell - Internal Use - Confidential" stuff? Anyways, you can specify comment in %param parameter for insert_host and update_host. R. On Mon Jun 16 14:01:01 2014, Ty_Young@Dell.com wrote: Show quoted text

Dell - Internal Use - Confidential Haha, sorry about the 'Dell internal use' stuff ... they auto-insert those in all our e-mails and we have to manually delete 'em, which I forgot to do. :) Thank you for your response and thanks for supplying this module! -ty Show quoted text
