Hi Thomas, thanks for helping test out the script :)
1. If the a line starts with #, it is a comment. The script reports me a syntax-error
I added the following lines:
---snip---
     # Exclude Comments
      elsif($item =~ /^#/) {
        next;
      }
---snap---
Ahh, I was handling comments incorrectly (if they had whitespace before them on a line they were being parsed, instead of ignored).  Now fixed.
2. I included one host on more than one page, so the script reports me about already definded host.
To get a step forward, I comment out the part in the sctipt.

Now I see the subpages, but no hosts. I can add hosts to the subpage.
I already tried to make a script, that builds the bb-hosts from a MySQL-Database. I got it never finished, because of all the possible combinations :(
If you comment out the line that reads in hosts, its to be expected that you wont see any on the pages/subpages :)  I assumed (yet another possibly incorrect assumption on my part) that you couldn't have the same hostname defined in two places in your bigbrother/hobbit hierarchy;  I'll have to play around with this some to see how bigbrother behaves.  Hopefully, I'll have a patch out in an hour or so.

Regards,
