Well, partly because you found bug in Test::Smoke::BuildCFG - where the last
blank line in a section was ignored - and partly because your cfg is not
quite up to the recent implementation of the configuration file.
I have fixed the bug in Test::Smoke::BuildCFG and pending your answer for the
smokeconfig.pl issue, the fix will be in 1.18.06 MAINT which I want to get to
CPAN asap.

Join the club ;-)
I think I need to clarify how I implemented the substitution sections in the
cfg (after consulting with Merijn)
1) Substitution will *only* take place for the 'ccflags' variable in
F<Policy.sh> which needs to be present as <builddir>/../Policy.sh
2) In fact a substitution rule can only *remove* options from that variable
(in the case of a blank line in the substitution section of the cfg) and will
not add them.
In short, to do the -DPERL_COPY_ON_WRITE thing you have 2 options:
1) Use the documented: C<-Accflags='-DPERL_COPY_ON_WRITE'> in a section of the
cfg
2) Edit your F<< <builddir>/../Policy.sh >> and add the -DPERL_COPY_ON_WRITE
option to the C<ccflags> variable and create a section like the -DDEBUGGING
one:
=
/-DPERL_COPY_ON_WRITE/
-DPERL_COPY_ON_WRITE
=
Take your pick...
IMO: 1) is easier and quicker, and 2) looks nicer in the reports
Good luck,
Abe

I guess I otherwise would sense some sarcasm in your voice but
unfortunately my sarcasm-o-meter burned out years ago from prolonged
exposure to myself.
