Must read:

        return $Actions::Vars::config{$conf};       # returns a hash reference
or
        return % { $Actions::Vars::config{$conf} || {} }; # returns plain hash

and should have been created like this:

my %user_conf = ( foo => 1, bar => 'on' );

$Actions::Vars::config{'user'} = { %user_conf };

One more tip: always say:

use strict;
use warnings;

That should have told you, whats wrong ;-))
