I haven't seen anything in the wild for parsing 10.x bigip.conf's.

 

 

If you could get live access to a BIG-IP running the config (or maybe a VE running 10.1.0?), I'd think iControl would be the best way to handle a requirement like this as you wouldn't be subject to configuration syntax changes. Else, you could take hwidjaja's method for parsing objects with nested braces like I did for Perl and use that to rework your 9.x parsing tool.
