I'd like to be able to split an old Apache2 configuration file into separate files one per virtual host. Would Config::ApacheFormat be the right module for that? It seems to read the configuration file in just fine, but how do I separate the VirtualHost blocks generically? And once, separate, how do I make the output something that Apache2 can tolerate?

PS. What if the value of VirtualHost (e.g. *:80, *:443) is different? I'd like the separation to occur for all vhosts, regardless of settings.

#!/usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::ApacheFormat;

my $configfile = shift || '/dev/stdin';

my $config = Config::ApacheFormat->new(
    root_directive     => 'ServerRoot',
    hash_directives    => [ 'AddHandler' ],
    include_directives => [ 'Include',
                            'AccessConfig',
                            'ResourceConfig' ],
    setenv_vars        => 1,
    fix_booleans       => 1);

$config->read( $configfile );

my @vhosts = $config->block( 'VirtualHost'=>'*:80' );

exit( 0 );

my $http = qq(                                                        
+          
# Ensure that Apache listens on port 80                               
+          
Listen 80
<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example1"
    ServerName www.example.com

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>                                                        
+          

<VirtualHost *:80>
    DocumentRoot "/www/example2"
    ServerName www.example.org

    # Other directives here
</VirtualHost>                                                        
+          
);
