In fact, you shouldn't have vmware-config.pl anywhere on a guest unless
you are planning to run a nested guest (which may not even be possible).

If you installed the VMwareWorkstation RPM in your guest, you should
remove it.

Why? I might really be testing deep virtualization.

Seriously, sloppyness on my part created an erroneous reference to
vmware-config.pl. I should have referenced vmware-config-tools.pl.

So, seriously, is your problem now solved?

vmware-config-tools.pl refers to /etc/vmware-tools/. vmware-config.pl refers to /etc/vmware/. Normally, a Linux host would have the former and a Linux guest would have the latter, and not vice versa. So it still seems odd that you were running vmware-config.pl in a Linux guest and getting any outcome other than "command not found" (unless, as you say...). And it still seems odd that you would have vmware-config.pl anywhere and be missing /etc/vmware/.
