To add to the comments above, one thing that seems to be tripping you up (that I didn't see emphasized in the links mentioned) is the implicit correspondence between module names and directory structure. As davorg told you, the module name is "Config::Simple", not "Simple", but that also means that perl expects to find it as a file "Simple.pm" in a directory named "Config", so it's looking for "Config\Simple.pm" in its library paths.

"C:\Testing\ITP\Config\Simple.pm" is the path I think you wanted. When you instead put it at "C:\Testing\ITP\Simple.pm", the file still has "package Config::Simple;" in it to define the module's name, which doesn't match the path.
