It seems there must be an easier way for you to handle this situation, because, as tye said, how can Perl find the libraries at your non-standard locations once you've installed this module?

But anyway, you can change the content of the 'test' sections of the Makefile by creating a MY::test subroutine in your Makefile.PL. That routine will be passed an object (I don't know what type it is; from the docs it looks like it might be of type 'MM'). You first call the SUPER::test to get the standard 'test' section, then you can use regexps to modify it.

For example:

package MY; sub test { my $self = shift; my $test = $self->SUPER::test(@_); $test =~ s!(-I\$\(PERL_LIB\))!$1 -I/home/deaconblues/code/lib +-I/opt/cd/dv/na/bin!; $test; }
