There's more to this than I thought because it's not just that the
new PREFIX functionality doesn't work. All the INSTALL* and *VENDOR*
macros are broken. There will be no installing of extensions on VMS
using MM 5.90 until this is resolved. No doubt this can all be
thrashed out and ported properly, but we're not there yet. There is
a patch attached that gets things from badly broken to moderately
broken; it only changes configure.com and does not delve into any of
the MM stuff.
So far I've added a boatload of new %Config variables and have
managed to silence some, but not all, of the uninitialized value
warnings in the installation tests. I've added usevendorprefix and
set its value to C<''> as Michael suggested, but AFAICT nothing
checks this and all the vendor-related stuff is expected to be there
even if I've requested that it not be used.
There are a couple of oddities in addition to the test failures.
Running a Makefile.PL seems to do everything twice:
$ perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good

In this generated descrip.mms (Makefile) excerpt, something is
inserting a space before the colon that indicates the path is
absolute:
PREFIX = perl_root :
SITEPREFIX = perl_root :
VENDORPREFIX = perl_root :
And the test failures I'm still seeing:
