So, that domain was compiled into Config.pm, presumably by some Apple developer? And the only way I can change it, other than editing each instance of Makefile.PL, is to recompile Perl? Is that right?

Not important. No, that isn't right.

It would be so cool if Config.pm used something like .configrc or .config_profile to specify configuration variables, particularly those that are of interest to Perl users rather that Perl builders.

No.

Maybe you can take a minute and read the documentation for Config to figure out its purpose.

If you're making modules you're gonna have to edit Makefile.PL no matter the tools you use, as as you're going to have to edit any .xs files, or .pm files.

h2xs is just a template/stubber.

h2xs is not an IDE (integrated development environment).

That h2xs pluck host out of %Config tells you how old it is and who wrote it (its the guy who wrote perl itself).
