Since Config.pm does an C<index> in a big string (which is fairly fast),
I don't think you're gonna to win anything by splitting that string in
smaller pieces and then putting there a complicated high-level logic to
select between them.
More could be win by slurping config.sh instead of putting it into a
here document, especially on platforms with a bogus realloc.
But config.sh is rather small anyway -- let's better talk about charnames:
Please try this on a *BSD with the system's malloc:
$ perl -e 'use charnames ":full"; print "\N{LATIN SMALL LETTER A}"'
