The module fails to create an object. As a result $overlay is undefined.
You should check the result of object creation and have a look at @Config::IniFiles::errors upon failure.
my $cfg = Config::IniFiles->new( -file => 'test.ini' )
or die "Failed to create Config::IniFiles object: @Config::IniFiles:
+:errors\n";
addendum: example:
0 linuxer@host /tmp $ cat /tmp/a.pl && perl /tmp/a.pl
#! /usr/bin/perl
use strict;
use warnings;
use Config::IniFiles;
my $overlay = Config::IniFiles->new(-file => 'test.ini')
or die "Failure: @Config::IniFiles::errors\n";
$overlay->newval("section1", "arg1", "anotherval");
$overlay->WriteConfig(-delta=>1);
__END__
Failure: Empty file treated as error

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
