Yes, I am interested. What needs to be done?
I'm not a perl hacker. Having someone who actually knows perl read
it over and check
that there are no obvious clangers would be a good start :).
The next step would be to clean up the interface to make it a little
more perl-esque.
I wrote the interface as I learned about perl and mtn automate, and
added what I needed.
At the moment it just calls the automate interface, it doesn't do any
parsing. Adding
that parsing would be a huge step forward, but that is a much larger
job.
2. Defaults for --confdir --rcfile --keydir seem can't be
changed. The
defaults seem to be strange.

Yes, I suspect so. Probably need to allow setting at least --keydir
and --rcfile (for the keyphrase hook). I am not sure what --confdir is
for though - is it needed?
Adding --rcfile might be a good idea, but, as I noted in my last
email, --keydir is
the only one that is really needed. You can use the _MTN/monotonerc
file in the
ikiwiki workspace for any hooks you want to add.
