Huh. Seems the docs would say the opposite
save_file()
Writes the config hash back to the hard disk. This method takes one
or
two parameters. The first parameter must be the filename where the
config should be written to. The second parameter is optional, it
must
be a reference to a hash structure, if you set it. If you do not
supply this second parameter then the internal config hash, which
has
already been parsed, will be used.
Please note that any occurrence of comments will be ignored by
getall() and thus be lost after you call this method.
You need also to know that named blocks will be converted to nested
blocks (which is the same from the perl point of view). An example:
<user hans>
id 13
</user>
will become the following after saving:
<user>
<hans>
id 13
</hans>
</user>
