Well, it works for me under 5.6.1 if I create the .Inline directory first. This may be a 5.005 problem. Can you run the following (with appropriate paths):

use strict;
use Inline (Config => DIRECTORY => '/home/ned/.Inline',);
use Inline 'C';
greet('Ingy');
greet(42);
__END__
__C__
void greet(char* name) {
 printf("Hello %s!\n", name);
}

On my system, it writes a config file in /home/ned/.Inline/config that looks like:

version : 0.42
languages : %
    C : C
    Foo : Foo
    c : C
    foo : Foo
types : %
    C : compiled
    Foo : interpreted
modules : %
    C : Inline::C
    Foo : Inline::Foo
suffixes : %
    C : so
    Foo : foo
