It doesn't quite look like what I expect. Excerpts:

"Plugin::Session"                     => {
                 storage => "/tmp/myapp/session",
                 },

 "View::TT"                        => {
                 COMPILE_DIR => "/tmp/myapp/template_cache",
                 },

Those are the defaults that are set in the module. I want to override them
in the conf file.

But setting in the conf file:

<Plugin::Session>
  storage /var/opt/myapp/session
</PLugin::Session>

or similarly for <View::TT> does not change those values. (I know setting
other things such as the DSN in the conf works, so it's the right file).
