 # engage in user interaction

 print $root->dump_tree ;

Once the synopsis above has been saved in "my_test.pl", you can do:

 $ perl my_test.pl
 class ui:$ ls
 foo  bar  hash_of_nodes
 class ui:$ ll hash_of_nodes
 name         value        type         comment
 hash_of_nodes <Foo>        node hash    keys: "en" "fr"
 class ui:$ cd hash_of_nodes:en
 class ui: hash_of_nodes:en $ ll
 name         value        type         comment
 foo          hello        string
 bar          [undef]      string
 class ui: hash_of_nodes:en $ set bar=bonjour
 class ui: hash_of_nodes:en $  ll
 name         value        type         comment
 foo          hello        string
 bar          bonjour      string
 class ui: hash_of_nodes:en $ ^D

At the end, the test script will dump the configuration tree. The modified "bar" value can be found in there:

 foo=FOO
 hash_of_nodes:en
   foo=hello
   bar=bonjour -
 hash_of_nodes:fr
   foo=bonjour - -

This module provides a pure ASCII user interface using STDIN and STDOUT.

cd ...

Jump into node or value element. You can use "cd <element>", "cd <elt:key>" or "cd -" to go up one node or "cd !" to go to configuration root.

set elt=value

Set a leaf value.

set elt:key=value

Set a leaf value locate in a hash or list element.

clear elt

Clear leaf value (set to "undef") or removed all elements of hash or list.

delete elt

Delete leaf value.

delete elt:key

Delete a list or hash element

display node_name elt:key

Display a value

ls | ls foo*
