I filed a bug report over at rt.cpan.org. It can be viewed here:

https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=74711

In short, if $_ is aliased to a constant (such as a string literal) when Config::Auto::parse() is called, an exception will be thrown complaining about attempting to modify a read-only value.

A little later I also submitted a followup there with a git diff demonstrating a patch to fix the issue, and a test to verify it's fixed.
