What? This does of course not work, you probably meant
cpan[4]> ! $CPAN::Config->{'makepl_arg'} = qq[PREFIX=$ENV{HOME}/usr SQLITE_LOCATION="$ENV{HOME}/usr"]
cpan[4]> o conf makepl_arg
makepl_arg [PREFIX=/home/k/usr SQLITE_LOCATION="/home/k/usr"]

Yes, this seems like a cute alternative. I never used it myself
because I'm unhappy when I have to reset the makepl_arg after the
command with a new value.

I see what you mean, but if the above works for you, you're probably
satisfied?
