Always Looked Up Last

[Julian Field]

Around line 815 on Config.pm, just after the line that logs the  
warning "Make sure the module is correct", add this:
$StaticScalars{$key} = $Defaults{$key};
That should force it to replace the Custom Function with the default  
value instead, so calls to the Custom Function should be replaced by  
a simple lookup.

Give it a go and let me know if it helps.
