Subject: people using PREFIX for bits of installation should work
people using PREFIX for bits of installation like Gtk2 does -should- work and currently doesn't since EUMM treats INSTALL_BASE on the CLI as overriding MM_OPT it should treat PREFIX as overriding INSTALL_BASE in MM_OPT as well

Sorry, I don't understand what you want. I don't know what Gtk2 does. Perhaps you can provide a code example? -- <Schwern> What we learned was if you get confused, grab someone and swing them around a few times -- Life's lessons from square dancing

If you try this you should see the error: PERL_MM_OPT=INSTALL_BASE=/foo/bar perl Makefile.PL PREFIX=/bar/baz

Ahh, I see. I suppose PREFIX/INSTALL_BASE can be treated as a single entity for the purposes of overriding PERL_MM_OPT. How did this situation arise? -- Robrt: People can't win Schwern: No, but they can riot after the game.

basically see https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=47462 for the background on how this came about

With t/writemakefile_args.t, EUMM now tests PERL_MM_OPT, and with t/basic.t it tests INSTALL_BASE. Closing.
