I wouldn't *exactly* use the terminology "event" for this purpose.
Essentially, you may be correct, but Config.pm is a module that is
accessed to provide configuration attributes according to how
Config.pm evaluates the expression for a given "variable" or
"attribute". Config.pm is being used *everywhere* for practically
everything that has user-definable modifications. But, then again,
when any module calls Config.pm, be it "event", or "operation", it
will rely on the evaluated expression returned by Config.pm for the
requested parameter.
Lots of caveats there, to be sure, but if it makes sense to you, the
short answer to your question is "yes", though in a much bigger scope
than you propose.
"What's an evaluated expression?"
Config.pm might have a variable (array key/value) set:
$Self->{Database} = 'otrs';
This is a pure assignment of value to an array key.
It could be something like:
$Self->{Database} = 'otrs' . '_dev';
Which means the expression of "concatenate" 'otrs' and '_dev' is
evaluated -- 'otrs_dev' -- and assigned to $Self->{Database}
It can be further defined such as:
my $foo = true;
$Self->{Database} = 'otrs';
if ($foo = true) { $Self->{Database} = 'otrs_test'; }
which would mean that the call to Config as a perl module will return
$Self->{Database} as 'otrs_test' instead of 'otrs';
If you create a test for connectivity before assignment of variables
to connect, you can likewise do as you request.
