  Log:
  Configuration file editor:  This module maintains a file consisting of colon
  separated fields as an array of lines that is indexed by a single selected field
  The indexing is done by maintaining a hash of index value -> line array index.
  This allows keyed lookups in constant time as well as editing that preserves
  lines with comments and so on.  Still to do:
  - Write modified file.
  See the cfgedittests directory for the test suite associated with this module.
  Please add to those tests if you add functionality.

package ConfigFileEdit;

#
#   Module to read/edit configuration files.
#   See the POD at the bottom of the file for more information.

#------------------------------ internal utility functions ----------

# 
# Comment 
#   Returns true if the line is completely a comment.
# Paramter:
#    line  
#        Contents of a configuration file line.
#
sub Comment {
    my $line = shift;

    # Leading whitespace followed by a #..

    if ($line =~ /^[' ',\t]*\#/) {
	return 1;
    }
    # Solely whitespace or empty  line.

    $line =~ s/[' ',\t]//g;
    return ($line eq "");

}

#
#  Field
#    Return the value of a field in the line.  Leading whitespace is trimmed
#    from the first key (key 0).
#  Parameters:
#     line 
#        Line from which to extract the field.
#
#     idx
#        Index of the field to extract.
#
sub Field {
    my $line = shift;
    my $idx  = shift;

    $line =~ s/(^ *)|(^\t*)//;

    my @fields = split(/:/, $line);

    return $fields[$idx];
}
#
#   Index:
#      Return a reference to a hash that indexes a line array.
#      The hash is keyed on a field in the line array lines
#      Each hash entry is the line number of the line in which 
#      that key value appears.  Note that at present, keys must be
#      unique.
#  Parameters:
#      $array    - Reference to a line array.
#      $idxfield - Field number to index on (0 is the first field).
#  Returns:
#    Reference to the index hash:
sub Index {
    my $array     = shift;
    my $idxfield  = shift;
   
    my %hash;

	my $line = $array->[$l];

#     Create a new configuration file editor object.
#     configuration files are : separated fields that 
#     may have comments, blank lines and trailing comments.
#     comments are indicated by #"s.
#   Parameters:
#     filename 
#            Name of file to open.
#     indexfield
#            Select the field to index the file by.

#   Return the number of lines in the current configuration file.

#   Replace a line in the configuration file:

# 
#  Parameters:

#     $key           - Lookup key.
#     $line          - New line.
# NOTE:
