INSTALL_BASE/--install_base is consistent across installers, so yes. The rest of what you said is confusing, though -- you're asking about INSTALL_BASE, but the only "clash" you mentioned is between PERL_MM_OPT and makepl_arg. Did you mean to say that the other developer is also setting PREFIX, or something else that would conflict with INSTALL_BASE? hdp.
