I have looked at Config::Model and tons of other modules under the Config:: and not only tree. Didn't find any, that interfaces comments also. They only parse the actual config data, omitting the comments, but I need the comment data from the config files also, because, there is some additional information in comments, that would be needed, that is described in comments, that I would post-parse with some additional code.

Of course, there is a possibility to just parse the config file by opening it yourself, getting all of the comments out to the variable and gathering the additional info from comments, but it would be useless, because the comments are not tied to parameters that way. there is no proximity information of the comment from the parameter, i.e. how far away is a particular comment from whatever parameter is.

Seems like, I have to write my own parser.
