in reply to Config sets optimisation compilation flags (-O/-g)!

Note that %Config can easily be overwritten: 
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config;

print "1: $Config{optimize}\n";

my $preferred = tied %Config;

$preferred->{optimize} = 'this is what I want';

print "2: $Config{optimize}\n";

__END__

On my Windows 7 box, that outputs:

1: -s -O2
2: this is what I want

Not sure if that is helpful to you but it's a capability that, in the past, has been useful to me.

Cheers,
Rob

    I guess your solution (and Fakeconfig from Anonymous) will eliminate the pain to clean the config string in an m4 macro (as I am using Gnu Autotools to generate the Makefile for the project). Of course I do not know what I want, I know what I do not want! I do not want "-O*", so I will filter that out inside the Perl one liner calling Config to tell me the CFLAGS. Thanks for the idea.

    I have updated my question so as mention an m4 macro which can be used by Autotools to get CFLAGS when compiling C programs having an embeded Perl.
