Oh, we don't use the patch tracker on sf.net (and there's no patch 
attached to that item either).  Unfortunately we can't shut off the 
portions of sf.net we're not using.

In any case, this has been available in Module::Build since at least 
version 0.19, using two different equivalent syntaxes:

  perl Build.PL --config foo=bar --config baz=quux
  perl Build.PL config=foo=bar config=baz=quux

The first syntax appeared in version 0.19, the second has been around 
much longer (I'm not sure exactly how long).

There's no central place in the documentation that explains the syntax 
of command line arguments, but I'd welcome a patch that did so in a 
coherent way.
