Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Do any modules handle the lighty (lighttpd) configuration format? It seems to be a cross between perl and python so it seems more natural than my other choice- the apache format as implemented by Config::General.

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    Apache or Lighty? Get better choices (for example YAML, or something that Config::Auto groks).

    (Not that I don't think Lighttpd's isn't a slight improvement over Apache's in some respects, but there's simpler alternatives. And if you need a fancier alternative, just use Perl :)

      I'd rather use something the users are familiar with, especially since my project is to work in conjunction with the webserver.

    see the lighttpd configuration documentation. the extended syntax is actually quite ugly and looks like php.
