Hi Karl, I've played a little with Cisco::Reconfig and I'm still not sure why I didn't enjoyed it as much as it was promising ... In fact this is exactly when I decided I should start working on a general parser to get context by indentation (node - child relation). And I needed something that would work with all the vendors too, so I thought it might be easier to write rules based on the vendor, only when necessary. Accessing the data structure was unfriendly and I would have had to build a config file around it to address my needs ... Well, thanks for the suggestion anyways, it's always good to evaluate many options. Luc
