->my_config is not implemented on Win32

->my_config is currently not implemented on Windows in 0.93. It should point to CSIDL_APPDATA on Windows (application configuration must be roaming). Note that my_dist_config depends on my_config and currently defaults to my_documents as a base and this is a wrong place to store application settings.

->my_config is not implemented on Win32 (or Linux either)

Same issue for me, running Linux. There is no POD for a my_config() method; it's only implied by my_dist_config(). Both methods die for me. Oddly enough, the test suite does not fail. Xiong Changnian XIONG@cpan.org

Correction: my_dist_config() doesn't die; but does return undef.
