Re: Missing Module in CPAN

Net::LocalCfg seems to be a an optional dependency, so Net::Config should work without it. It doesn't exist in CPAN, and I doubt it has ever existed - at least, there are no traces of it in the Wayback Machine or Google Search.

Maybe it's a class the user is supposed to create? I don't see why creating the parent class would be beneficial, but maybe someone else knows?

map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

Was actually curious so went poking and I think it's a bug / mis-implemented feature that won't work as is now (presuming I'm reading the docs right and my empirical messing around was done correctly). According to the documentation it's so that you can (paraphrasing) define class methods which will override the defaults for things like `requires_firewall` (which looks like the only specific method at any rate). But since the `Net::Config` would be a child of the putative `Net::LocalCfg` class then its (`Net::Config`) local version would override the parent's (`Net::LocalCfg`) implementation. To do what it says on the tin you'd need to have your own subclass of `Net::Config` with the special behavior therein so that when you call the class method on that it'd do the right thing and find your custom overridden version.
