Could you create a list of possible candidate locations, and then loop through them, taking the first one that exists and eventually fall back to i3workspaceconfig?

$config_home_dir = "$ENV{'XDG_CONFIG_HOME'}";
}
else {
$config_home_dir = "$ENV{'HOME'}/.config";
}

my @config_path_proposal = (
"$config_home_dir/$filename",
"$config_home_dir/i3-renameworkspaces/config",
"$ENV{'HOME'}/.$filename"
);
my $config_path;
foreach my $candidate (@config_path_proposal) {
if ( -e $candidate && -f _ && -r _ ) {
say "Config found: $candidate";
$config_path = $candidate;
last;
}
}

if ( not length $config_path ) {
$config_path = "$ENV{'HOME'}/.$filename";
say "Config default: $config_path";
}

return $config_path;
}
