With the release >= 2.32, for many code upgrade, you must specify a ParseConfig 
reference.

 perl -w -e 'use Config::General; my $conf = 
Config::General::ParseConfig("/dev/null");'

In the Config::General 2.32 Changelog the upstream Developer specify:


         "- applied most hints Perl::Critic had about Config::General:
