Re: A simple perl script to convert Cisco IOS configuration to HTML with internal links for easier comprehension

I was going to look at this because it sounded interesting. Maybe some extra things it could do would be to set div/classes in some parts of the config to denote what it is so that the user could apply css to style it. That would allow user-defined color syntax highlighting of a sort.
Another nice thing would be collapsible sections so if you're only interested in BGP you can skip interfaces, or if you want to look at route-maps, access-lists, etc.
The project looks a bit disorganized, but I only took a quick glance at it so perhaps it does everything exactly as you intend. Are you thinking of making any of it into modules, or defining tests? I like the idea of running this as part of a post-rancid process, but it might also be nice if it was a module that could be run in real-time on a config. Then I could have a mojo wrapper daemon that called it when users accessed /configs/*-confg, or whatever and returned the parsed version.
Anyway, I don't want to create any more work for you, I just wanted to kick out some ideas. If I have time I will contribute what I can, but I'm already neck deep in some random projects. I don't mind starting another one, but I don't want to say I'm doing something and then never deliver. :)
