Nagios::* namespace accepted on CPAN.

[Patrick LeBoutillier]

I'll work on preparing the Nagios::Config module for CPAN submission
shortly.

When I post it will "explode templates" (many levels) and provide POD
and accessor generic accessor methods (no autoloading for now).

NOTE: I do not intent to make this module "intelligent" about the different
objects that Nagios uses. This means that it will parse the config files,
and provide
ways to access the different attributes for each object without knowing what
those
attributes are or if they are valid or not.

If someone want to write such a module, I'll gladly rename mine
Nagios::Config::Simple
in order to liberate the more generic namespace. Or else I'll proceed with
Nagios::Config.


Cheers,

Patrick LeBoutillier
