That's not good because it'll still add -lperl, whereas MP_DEBUG could be 
made smarter to use the right lib (notice that it doesn't have to be 
libperld, it should link against it only if it finds one).

Regardless, you can always pass extra arguments throught the standard 
MakeMaker arguments. e.g. for CC

   CCFLAGS="-g" perl Makefile.PL ...

(LDDLFLAGS, etc. see the ExtUtils::MakeMaker manpage)
