Oof. It probably doesn't like the 'grep {/pattern/} keys %Config' very
much. Replace:
foreach(grep {/pattern/} keys %Config) {
blah blah blah
with:
while($_=each %Config) {
next unless /pattern/;
blah blah blah
(untested) and it ought to work okay. (Fill in the correct /pattern/,
of course.)

Yeah, that whole test.c thing is highly Unix-centric. I'll probably
wrap it up in a function so hints files can override its behavior. If
you can't figure out how to adapt what's there for VMS, you can always
replace the split() with the actual values of the things. (Yucky, I
know, but it would at least work.)
