 # perl-AppConfig
 
+AppConfig is a bundle of Perl5 modules for reading configuration files
+and parsing command line arguments.  This is a descendant of, and
+supercedes the App::Config module.  Functionality is extended over the
+final version of App::Config (1.09) and includes many new features.  This
+module has been developed and in the process, renamed, as part of an
+effort to unify the various Perl modules for parsing configuration files
+and command line arguments.
