I've found another solution: it's not-so-clean, but it's the best way to do it IMHO.
Conf.pm contains no only configuration variables, but also methods to get them.
This is kinda unusual for a "configuration file". What I'm doing now is patching
Conf.pm so that it sources its variables from /etc/emboss-explorer.conf, keeping
this one a simple "variable container", with no additional things.

As soon as possible I'll upload the fixed package (I have to solve some issues
right now).

Regards,
David
