I used it in the past with Nagios 2.x and it was a nightmare - needed a
bunch of fixes to make it barely work (with a bunch of spurious warnings
along the way) and I had to access directly the internal structures to
get what I wanted. I sent my patches to the maintainer but he never
responded. I wouldn't even dare to try with 3.0 - consider this module dead.

Nagios::Config was even worse - It's actually what I wanted to use in
the first place but it just wouldn't parse my config. Don't even think
about this one (plus it's angios 2.x) :(

On a side note how hard it would be to rewrite these modules while
linking directly to Nagios sources for parsing? If that can be done it
would make it much easier to keep it up to date, and would be much
faster as well. I don't have much knowledge with Perl modules, even less
with XS.
