I think we may be talking about two different config.pm files:
there's the Perl Config.pm (which, IMHO shouldn't be edited)
and there's the CPAN/Config.pm, which has its settings for tools, etc.
(this can be edited fairly safely).
Or maybe I'm just getting the wrong impression.
There is support in ExtUtils for NT without external utils -- cp, mv,
rm, etc. are all
provided for. CPAN itself doesn't use any external utils other than:
'ftp' => q[/usr/bin/ftp], optional
'gzip' => q[/bin/gzip], will use Compress::Zlib
'lynx' => q[/usr/bin/lynx], optional
'make' => q[/usr/bin/make], needed (but could use Perl make/dmake?)
'ncftpget' => q[/usr/bin/ncftpget], optional
'pager' => q[/usr/bin/less], can use MORE.EXE if necessary
'shell' => q[/bin/bash], only used for "look" command; could be CMD
'tar' => q[/bin/tar], could use the TAR replacement in Archive::Tar
'unzip' => q[/usr/bin/unzip], only needed if .zip files distributed
The only other external utils that could be needed are the ones used by
Makefile.PL,
which (if it uses MakeMaker) will use the Perl equivalents if the
external commands
aren't available.
That only leaves compilation, which isn't necessary for the majority of
Perl modules.
