I do something similar in scripts that automate module
installation. However, I use a longer list of variables:
$makefile_args =
" INSTALLPRIVLIB=$prefix/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0 " .
" INSTALLARCHLIB=$prefix/usr/lib/perl5/5.6.0/i386-linux " .
" INSTALLSITELIB=$prefix/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0 " .
" INSTALLSITEARCH=$prefix/usr/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.6.0/i386-linux " .
" INSTALLBIN=$prefix/usr/bin " .
" INSTALLSCRIPT=$prefix/usr/bin " .
" INSTALLMAN1DIR=$prefix/usr/share/man/man1 " .
" INSTALLMAN3DIR=$prefix/usr/share/man/man3 ";
All I do is set the $prefix. Voila! Modules where we
want 'em!

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).

or How to display code and escape characters
are good places to start.
