It's ok putting code in config.pl, but you should be aware that if you use
the CGI editor, it will not survive.

Off the top of my head, you could do it like this:
push @{$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}{'*'}}, '/dir1', '/dir2', '/dir3';
push @{$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}{'/'}}, '/dir4', '/dir5', '/dir6';
You can also use an array instead of listing the new entries:
push @{$Conf{BackupFilesExclude}{'*'}}, @newstuff;
Untested, so the syntax may not be perfect...
