in reply to Editing Config.pm

Not sure that this applies to what you want to do:
use warnings; use strict; use Config; my $obj = tied %Config::Config; print $Config::Config{startperl}, "\n"; $obj->{startperl} = "garbage"; print $Config::Config{startperl}, "\n"; __END__ outputs: #!perl garbage

That's a technique used by ExtUtils::FakeConfig. If you want a hard coded Config.pm with altered values it might be safer to use ExtUtils::FakeConfig. It creates a Config_m.pm with the overwritten Config values. If you want to use those overwritten values, you invoke perl with '-MConfig_m'. Otherwise the original Config values are used. ExtUtils::FakeConfig was written with a view to overwriting some specific Config values, but I think it can fairly easily be generalised. Could be worth a look.

Cheers,
