In order to start you can dump the hash tree generated by
$IPTables::IPv4 using the Config::General module in the perl debugger.
But watch out, reading in the data again may come out with a different
tree as degenerated arrays are usually collapsed to a scalar.
I wrote a simple parser to cope with this problem - you can have the
framework it if you like (but there is also some other stuff in like
module initialisation, /proc/sys/net configuration settings and the
template toolkit acting as a preprocessor).
