Apologies. That is actually a documentation bug. You aren't able to put
comments on the same line as a config variable. If you look at the value that
Std::Config would read in from your original specification, you'll see that
it's treating that # as just another part of the value:
print $config{""}{key}; # prints: "value # comments!!!"
Yes, it's a pity that you can't put comments on the same line as a config var,
but I made the judgement that it would be worse if you couldn't use # as part
of a value.
Sorry for the confusion.
