Dear Monks,
I need help with the IncludeDirectories option of Config::General module. I wrote following little code to try out: 
#!/usr/bin/perl -w

use strict;
use Readonly;
use Config::General;
use Data::Dumper;

Readonly my $config_dir => "/home/user/workspace/cfgtest/etc";

my $config = Config::General->new(
              -IncludeDirectories => 1,
              -ConfigFile => $config_dir);
my %conf = $config->getall;

[download]
I also created a small config file under /home/user/workspace/cfgtest/etc/config.cfg with a single entry:
 EXCLUDE whatever
It works, %conf contains the options from the .cfg file, but it also generates the following error message:

"Use of uninitialized value $file in concatenation (.) or string at /usr/lib64/perl5/vendor_perl/File/Spec/Unix.pm line 102"

I've already chewed through the manual several times, also searched the net for examples, but no luck. Any idea how to fix it, what is the right way to use IncludeDirectories option?
