You may want to use another name than this, since there is already a
Config.pm in the standard Perl distribution:
perldoc Config

There are a lot of modules on CPAN that are related to config and/or
inifiles, as
<http://search.cpan.org/search?mode=all&query=config>
will show.
You also may want to read
<http://groups.google.com/groups?selm=3d5db9ae%240%24184%2475868355%
40news.frii.net>
and ensuing thread from clpmisc on a related topic.
