One feature I have been exploiting extensively in my Perl 5 installs is cpan.pm's MyConfig.pm which permits me to overlay Perl's %Config and to swap sets of config changes in and out with out messing with the base Perl 5 install. I find this to be a useful way of organizing experiments and changes. Does Parrot's Config architecture provide this capability? Regards, Todd Olson
