in thread Installing a config file during module operation

I suspect people aren't reading docs for Win32. You have to import the constant. (I'll admit I didn't do that at first, either.) 

> perl -MWin32 -le "print Win32::GetFolderPath(CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA)"
C:\Documents and Settings\DGolden\Desktop
> perl -MWin32=CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA -le "print Win32::GetFolderPath(CSI
+DL_LOCAL_APPDATA)"
C:\Documents and Settings\DGolden\Local Settings\Application Data

    Thanks in large part to the discussion in this thread and Win32 CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA, I am making progress toward this goal. Here are three utility subroutines I've written as part of this project. The first identifies a "home" directory suitable for holding a configuration file. The other two are used to locate the config file, suppress its effect during 'make test', then restore it to life afterwards.
