That is not the effect of my patch at all.

You are failing to distinguish between $PREFIX set as an environment variable
and $PREFIX the make variable.  PREFIX the make variable already controls what
the p5-RT-Extension ports do as variables like SITE_PERL are defined in
terms of it already.   As I said in an earlier post: these ports already honour
PREFIX correctly when it is defined eg. in /etc/make.conf. (The same applies to
LOCALBASE for that matter, but LOCALBASE means nothing to perl configure scripts,
so this whole question doesn't arise)

In fact, it's the make variable which is the important thing for the ports, and
the confusion here arises because different Makefiles or scripts are re-importing
the value from the environment instead of inheriting the settings from
superior makes.

	Cheers,
