Agree that it would be useful.

I think that's going to be more confusing, as it's going to be 100% wrong.
The desire is to have the path of the (loaded) perl DLL in the error message.
The value of $Config{useshrplib} in Config.pm is going to be the location of
the *correct* perl DLL. The error message is triggered by the (stub) perl.exe
loading the wrong DLL. The wrong DLL might have any path, and it's that
(unknown to %Config::Config) path for the loaded DLL that is desired for the
error message.
