Config.pm just loads the configuration file into three separate data
structures, one for global options like find_files, another for all
groups and a third for all the plots.

perl_glob is in Utils.pm and this actually finds the file using the
regular expression and find_files in orca.pl takes this list of files
and determines which group (such as using the hostname as the group
name) the file belongs to.

Best,
