there is a global %Config variable exported by the `Config' module, so
it appears that either Errno.pm is missing
  use Config;
or due to a second `Config' module in the search path the wrong module
is loaded.

This looks like a likely candidate.

If you write your own Perl modules, I'd avoid the global namespace for
precisely this reason. If that module is from you, I'd move it to the
  Collectd::Plugin::MyPlugin::Config
or
  Collectd::Config::MyPlugin
package which should be unique..

Hope this helps :)
