If you want to try to patch a file by hand, you can read the patch file in one
window and do the editing in another.  The first two lines of the file refer to
the files used to create the patch (or diff) file.  In this case, config_parse.pl.
(modified) and a copy of the original file, config_parse.pl.orig.

Next, is a separator line, the line numbers of the original file followed by new 
line numbers related to the changed file.  This is good only as a starting
reference when dealing with already modified files.  You can use the next three
lines to confirm location when you find an "exact" match.  Lines with - signs are
removed and lines with + signs are added.  Lastly, there are three more lines of 
unmodified text to verify you are in the right location.

If this makes you uncomfortable in any way, do not attempt hand patching the code.
If you are the adventurous type, make sure to keep working backups.

I believe I know what needs to be done, I just need some clarification.
