CHANGE LOG

$Log: Parser.pm,v $ Revision 1.2 2001/07/23 17:46:29 starky Added versioning to the configuration file as well as the ability to specify groups in addition to / as a replacement for event letters. Also changed the Net::Peep::Parse namespace to Net::Peep::Parser. (I don't know why I ever named an object by a verb!)

Revision 1.1 2001/07/23 16:18:35 starky Changed the namespace of Net::Peep::Parse to Net::Peep::Parser. (Why did I ever create an object whose namespace was a verb anyway?!?) This file was consequently moved from peep/client/Net/Peep/Parse to its current location.
