CSS.pm requires about 2.6 meg or ram to load, which is a large amount of overhead if you only want to do trivial things. Memory usage is normally scoffed at in Perl, but in my opinion should be at least kept in mind. This module is primarily for reading and writing simple files, and anything we write shouldn't need to have documentation/comments. If you need something with more power, move up to CSS.pm. With the increasing complexity of CSS, this is becoming more common, but many situations can still live with simple CSS files. =head2 CSS Feature Support C supports grouped styles of the form C correctly when reading, ungrouping them into the hash structure. However, it will not restore the grouping should you write the file back out. In this case, an entry in the original file of the form H1, H2 { color: blue } would become H1 { color: blue } H2 { color: blue } C handles nested styles of the form C

in reads and writes correctly, making the property available in the form $CSS->{'P EM'}->{color} C ignores comments of the form C on read correctly, however these comments will not be written back out to the file. =head1 CSS FILE SYNTAX Files are written in a relatively human-orientated form, as follows: H1 { color: blue; } .this { color: red; font-size: 10px; } P EM { color: yellow; } When reading and writing, all property descriptors, for example C and C in the example above, are converted to lower case. As an example, take the following CSS. P { Font-Family: Verdana; } To get the value C<'Verdana'> from the object C<$CSS>, you should reference the key C<$CSS-E{P}-E{font-family}>. =head1 METHODS =head2 new The constructor C creates and returns an empty C object. =head2 read $filename The C constructor reads a CSS stylesheet, and returns a new C object containing the properties in the file. Returns the object on success, or C on error. =head2 read_string $string The C constructor reads a CSS stylesheet from a string. Returns the object on success, or C on error. =head2 clone The C method creates an identical copy of an existing C object. =head2 write_string Generates the stylesheet for the object and returns it as a string. =head2 write The C generates the stylesheet for the properties, and writes it to disk. Returns true on success. Returns C on error. =head2 html The C method generates the CSS, but wrapped in a C
