Thanks for the hint. What I find not obvious is how most people handle parts of a module that change during install time. I ended up just reading the source from the Makefile.PL and changing the value of $SYSTEMID to the prompted value with a s///. I didn't want a seperate cfg file as this module is loaded a lot. Basically a bunch of vars that define system defineds. (SMTP server, features enabled, log locations, etc.)
