Why not just copy it? As Schwern said, not everything handles symlinks.
${CP} foo/lang/en/bar.conf foo/lang.conf
Alternatively, in the Makefile, you can create a new variable to be the
name of the config file to use
CONF = foo/lang/en/bar.conf
....
${COMMAND} -abc -file=${CONF}
Not that I'm trying to get you to use Makemaker, but Module::Build will
be similarly platform-limited.
