ok. dh_config_model_upgrade will react to both variables.

Hmm. The core part of Config::Model could be rewritten in C: I've avoided
using too many Perl magic.
The fact that the models are currently stored as Perl data structure is not a
big problem. This was done just as a convenience to parse quickly the models.
The models could as well be stored as YAML, JSON or XML and used as is in a C
implementation of Config::Model. The Perl implementation would just have to
translate JSON or YAML or XML back as Perl data structure to work as usual.
All the best
