I need help setting up my Makefile.PL config variables. I am creating a perl module and I began with h2xs. My current variables are:

WriteMakefile(
    'NAME'              => 'Foo::Bar',
    'VERSION_FROM'      => 'Bar.pm'
    'PREFIX'            => '/home/deaconblues/code/lib'
    'PREREQ_PM'         => {}, # e.g., Module::Name => 1.1
);

I have 2 extra perl libraries I want to include when running 'make test' or 'make testdb' besides the standard perl library. When I run the testnig part of the make process the script does not find required modules in these 2 non-standard libraries. I have been editing the Make file by hand and adding -I flags to the following lines. 

test_dynamic :: pure_all
        PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 $(FULLPERL) -I$(INST_ARCHLIB) -I$(INST_LIB) 
+-I$(PERL_A
RCHLIB) -I$(PERL_LIB) $(TEST_FILE)

testdb_dynamic :: pure_all
        PERL_DL_NONLAZY=1 $(FULLPERL) $(TESTDB_SW) -I$(INST_ARCHLIB) -
+I$(INST_LI
B) -I$(PERL_ARCHLIB) -I$(PERL_LIB) $(TEST_FILE)

I add the flags "-I/home/deaconblues/code/lib" and "-I/opt/cd/dv/na/bin", which work. The problem with this is that whenever I 'make clean', I have to redo my edits after I rerun 'perl Makefile.PL', because the Makefile gets deleted. I would like to setup the config variables in the MakeFile.PL script to produce the changes automatically that I have been doing by hand.

I had tried using the INC variable but it doesn't get included in above lines. Please do not tell me "Well then don't 'make clean'. :-)

Thank you for your assistance
