Might help to see what format you want your config file to be in. But here's a quick hack. There might be ways to make it tighter in terms of variable scope and regex and so on, but it should work and be safe:

use strict;
use warnings; no warnings 'uninitialized';

my (%cond, %func, @config, %config, $cond, $func);

### Sample function
sub FUNC { print "Successful condition.\n"; }

### Config values to allow in conditions
$cond{$_}++ for qw/COND1 COND2 COND3/;

### Functions that can be called upon successful condition
$func{$_}++ for qw/FUNC/;

### Eliminate potential exploits, convert operators
sub c_parse {
    return $_[0] if $cond{$_[0]};
    return '&&' if $_[0] eq 'AND';
    return '||' if $_[0] eq 'OR';
}

### Safe the config file, store pre-processed results for later
sub c_initialize {
    while (<DATA>) {
        chomp; ($cond, $func) = split /   /;
    
        $cond =~ s/[^\w\(\) ]+/ /g;
        $cond =~ s/(\w+)/c_parse($1)/eg;
    
        $func =~ s/\W+//g;
        return if !$func{$func};
        
        push @config, [$cond, $func];
    }
}

### Run through config looking for successful conditions
sub c_process {
    print "Testing conditions.\n";
    for (@config) {
        ($cond, $func) = @$_;
        $cond =~ s/(\w+)/$config{$1} || 0/eg;
        eval "$func\(\) if $cond";
    }
}

c_initialize();

$config{COND1} = 1;
$config{COND3} = 1;

c_process();

$config{COND3} = 0;

c_process();

$config{COND2} = 1;

c_process();

__DATA__
COND1 AND (COND2 OR COND3)   FUNC
