Thanks for having such a neat ready-to-run solution to wrap the underlying primitives.

Question, though: why the quotes around the hash keys?

my $podroot  = "$Config{installprefix}";
my $htmlroot = "$Config{installhtmldir}";

We all know that perlfaq4 admonishes against this. But I know that there is a difference, that you are forcing string context on the object. So, are those values class objects rather than ordinary scalars, or what?
