$VAR1 = {
          'pop3_hosts' => [],
          'ftp_firewall' => undef,
          'ph_hosts' => [],
          'inet_domain' => undef,
          'time_hosts' => [],
          'daytime_hosts' => [],
          'smtp_hosts' => [],
          'test_exist' => 1,
          'test_hosts' => 1,
          'nntp_hosts' => [],
          'ftp_ext_passive' => 1,
          'snpp_hosts' => [],
          'ftp_testhost' => undef,
          'ftp_int_passive' => 0
        };
