Yup. For those looking for the details see my prior email.

Well it does sort of. The perl code is preserved on
saving and the expanded value does show up in the
editor. However when it is saved, the newly defined
$Conf variables are placed after the perl code in the
file thus overriding the perl code.
In my case it doesn't matter because we won't be using
the web editing interface. All the changes to the
backup system are pushed by our config management
system, so any changes done via the web interface will
be overwritten.
