Config::Find looks like it is designed for exactly what you're looking for - 
have you seen that?

I was also going to recommend Config::Auto (which even parses the config, 
supporting various formats), but it seems to be Unix-centric, and likely not 
useful on Windows.

It wasn't entirely clear to me whether you're looking for suggestions on how 
to *find* the config file in a sensible location, or how to install a default 
config file into a suitable location as the module is installed, though - have 
I got the wrong end of the stick here?
