Why can't those variables be added via the environment?

Or more related to a recent issue I had:

If I'm installing a CPAN module via "cpan" or "cpanm" (or even as a
dependency to some other module installed that way), how can I pass needed
parameters to Makefile.PL?

My specific situation is I'm setting up an environment for developers, and
the goal is for them to check out some project and run Makefile.PL (or use
cpanm --installdeps) to bring in all CPAN dependencies, but some of those
dependencies need parameters passed to Makefile.PL.

I can't seem to find it right now but isn't there a way to have site config
files perl distribution to configure the build process -- such as to answer
questions given during Makefile.PL?
