Fails in what way? Why make us guess?
Did you carefully read the documentation on require? I can
think of two reasons why it might be "failing":
1. If config is a bareword, require will look for a file
called config.pm, and it must exist in a location in
@INC
2. If the last expression in the file does not evaulate
to true, the require will fail.
See:
perldoc -f require
perldoc -q require
