in reply to Re^2: Giving LDFLAGS to a module which has no configure
in thread Giving LDFLAGS to a module which has no configure

Where should I have looked to learn to figure that out for myself?

I really don't know :) Maybe ExtUtils::MakeMaker , maybe A Guide To Installing Modules, maybe Re^2: Fuse and fuse_loop

Its just tradition, make takes overrides (first from env, then from commandline), so Makefile.PL does as well, and passes them on.
