There was a slight bug in the code I offered below.
Here is a fixed and better version:
foreach my $dir ( qw(TopDir ConfDir InstallDir LogDir RunDir) ) {
if ($bpc->{Conf}{$dir} eq "" || defined(lcfirst($dir))) {
$bpc->{Conf}{$dir} = $bpc->{$dir};
} else {
$bpc->{$dir} = $bpc->{Conf}{$dir};
}
$paths->{$dir} = $bpc->{$dir};
