A perl script to convert Cisco IOS/Nexus/ASA configurations to HTML for easier comprehension

Thu Oct 13 13:08:07 UTC 2016

Lee,

   Check out the setup.sh script, hopefully it does everything necessary 
to get the script working on a Debian-derived Linux system

I've attempted to make the only globally-installed dependencies be cpanm 
and carton.  Once those are installed it uses carton to install the 
dependencies locally
