Does running 

   $ perl Makefile.PL LDFLAGS=-L/cdldevel2/tingle/dev-bundle/lib
   $ make

generate a diferent compile and linking command than just 

   $ perl Makefile.PL
   $ make

It doesn't on my machine.  I'm not sure I know the correct flags as it
seems like I see different things with different versions of Perl. Perhaps
MakeMaker has changed. 

I have always done something like:

   $ ./configure --prefix=$HOME/foo
   $ make && make install

Then build the Perl module:

   $ cd perl
   $ perl Makefile.PL \
     CCFLAGS=-I$HOME/foo/include \
     LIBS="-lz -L$HOME/foo/lib -lswish-e"
   $ LD_RUN_PATH=$HOME/foo/lib make

Actually, with Perl 5.6.1 I don't need to set LD_RUN_PATH, seems that
MakeMaker figures that out and sets it automatically when running make.
