+ Displaying configuration data
+ -----------------------------
+
+ The configuration script itself will say very little, and finishes by
+ creating "configdata.pm". This perl module can be loaded by other scripts
+ to find all the configuration data, and it can also be used as a script to
+ display all sorts of configuration data in a human readable form.
+
+ For more information, please do:
+
+ $ ./configdata.pm --help # Unix
+
+ or
+
+ $ perl configdata.pm --help # Windows and VMS
