I want to include a configuration file in my distribution.

So far I've come up with the following in my class to get a config file name and pass it the the super class constructor. The config file will be in the same directory as the class but with a .txt extension. 

package GetPaid::FlatFile::Artran;

use warnings;
use strict;
use File::Spec;

use base qw(GetPaid::FlatFile);
our $VERSION = '0.01';

my @Path = split /::/, __PACKAGE__;
my $Configfile = File::Spec->rel2abs((join '/', @Path). ".txt");

sub new {
   my ($class, $dir) = @_;
   $dir = '.' unless defined $dir;
   my $this  = $class->SUPER::new(
      "$dir/" . uc(pop @Path) . '.TXT', # data file to create
      $Configfile
   );
   bless $this, ref($class) || $class;
}

1;

Is this the correct way to do this?
Will there be any conditions under which this will not work?
