You may want to use another name than this, since there is already a 
Config.pm in the standard Perl distribution:

    perldoc Config

There are a lot of modules on CPAN that are related to config and/or 
inifiles, as

    <http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=config>

will show.

You also may want to read

<http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3d5db9ae%240%24184%2475868355%
40news.frii.net>

and ensuing thread from clpmisc on a related topic.
