The first link doesn't work. And I don't know enough about MakeMaker files to really know how to write my own to run a configuration script with the second module you linked to, unfortunately.

It should have been https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#prompt.
map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

The first link is to a function prompt() provided in ExtUtils::MakeMaker. Didn't the lower casing of the last element indicate that? Did you look at the doc for EU::MM to find it? I've corrected the URL now, thanks Athanasius.
The second link is to a dzil plugin that allows you to create a custom Makefile script, which would incorporate the prompting for input you wanted. If you're not willing to use it because you "don't know enough about it", then I don't know what can be done other than put in the effort to learn about it. Shrug.
(The same author released Dist::Zilla::Plugin::ModuleBuild::Custom if you use Module::Build, but I am not aware of a built-in way to prompt for user information.)
The way forward always starts with a minimal test.
