DESCRIPTION

63       This module is used directly by Config::Model::Node to describe a node
64       element. This module returns a human readable string that shows the
65       content of a configuration node.
66
67       For instance (as shown by "fstab" example:
68
69        name         type         value        comment
70        fs_spec      string       [undef]      mandatory
71        fs_vfstype   enum         [undef]      choice: auto davfs ext2 ext3 swap proc iso9660 vfat ignore, mandatory
72        fs_file      string       [undef]      mandatory
73        fs_freq      boolean      0
74        fs_passno    integer      0
75
76       This module is also used by the "ll" command of Config::Model::TermUI.
