No such file or directory: '/.config/periscope'

What steps will reproduce the problem?

 periscope -l en Minority\ Report.mkv
INFO:periscope.periscope:Creating folder /.config/periscope
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/periscope", line 5, in <module>

  File "build/bdist.linux-mips/egg/periscope/periscope.py", line 56, in __init__
OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '/.config/periscope'

However if I use
 "periscope -l de -l fr  --cache-folder"
It works.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output would be that I don't have to point to a certain folder for the 
cache.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

 periscope --version
0.2.4

On a popcornhour C200 running python 2.6

Please provide any additional information below.

Offcourse I meant:

"periscope -l de -l fr  --cache-folder 
/share/Apps/periscope/periscope/.config/periscope"
So when I point a folder it works. Any idea?

mkdir ~/.config resolved the issue for me.
