grep'ng for 'string' in bigip.conf

  v0.2 - 2010-01-27 
  
  This is a simple script to parse a bigip.conf and print out each instance of an object types in alphabetical order 
  Ex: my_class, whose_class, your_class, my_rule_1, my_rule_2, your_rule_1, my_vip_1, my_vip_2, your_vip_1, your_vip_2,  
  
  Order of the printing of the object types themselves is hardcoded for now using the @ObjectTypeNames array. 
  This could be changed to print in the order the object types are found in the bigip.conf 
  Object types not defined in $ObjectTypeRegex are considered "unknown" and are printed first. 
  
  
 use strict;  Need to declare the ObjectTypeName arrays first 
 use warnings; 
 use Switch; 
  
  Get the filename from the command line arguments. Default to ./bigip.conf 
 @ARGV = 'bigip.conf' unless @ARGV; 
 my ($File) = @ARGV; 
  
  Debug logging? (0=none, 1=debug on result printing, 2=debug on printing and file parsing) 
 my $debug = 0; 
  
  Initialise some variables 
 my ($CurlyBracesCount, $Object) = (0, ""); 
 my $ObjectDefLine = ""; 
  
  Array of object type names.  
  The names need to be in the order that object types are listed in the conf files to ensure the output order is valid. 
 my @ObjectTypeNames = ('unknowns', 'routes', 'classes', 'monitors', 'auths', 'profiles', 'nodes', 'pools', 'snatpools', 'snats', 'rules', 'virtual_addresses', 'virtuals'); 
  
  Regex which matches 
 my $ObjectTypeRegex = qw/(^(?:auth|class|monitor|node|pool|profile|route|rule|snat|snatpool|virtual).*){$/; 
  
  ToDo: Declare array names for each ObjectTypeName and enable 'use strict' 
  
  Open file

  Read in the file

  Append current line 
 $Object .= $_; 
  
  Count the number of open/close curly braces in the current line 
 $CurlyBracesCount += (tr/\{//);

  If the curly brace count is 0, we've found a matching close brace
