Hi Wise Monks,

I have an rather large and complicated httpd.conf file that uses mod_perl <Perl> tags to write a large part of it. I would like to be able to dump out the resulting config as if where normal looking httpd.conf file. I need to be able to reverse engineer and debug this large httpd.conf. I know I can do stuff like ... 

Apache::PerlSections->store("httpd_config.pl");

[download]
... but that writes the config out as Perl code which is fine but I was hoping the the reverse. I also know that I can check the syntax of my httpd.conf by executing 
$ perl -cx httpd.conf

[download]
but again I want to end up with output that is just httpd configuration directives without any Perl code left in it.

Does any Monk know of any existing module that does something like this or is there some simple solution I am just not clever enough to see for myself?

Many thanks!
