Hi everyone,
I'm trying to make an installer for my program and was planning on
using ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but don't know how to read the value set in
PREFIX when the user does:

    perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/foo/bar

How can i read this value in the main program? to reffer some paths to that.

Thanks to everyone.
