Another method is to use a macro (available at the macro archive) to
expand $prefix or whatever at configure time into a separate variable
which you AC_SUBST, and then just go ahead and use AC_OUTPUT.
In some ways this isn't as friendly.
Automake itself takes the cheapo hack route:
my $prefix = "@prefix@";
my $perllibdir = $ENV{'perllibdir'} || "@datadir@/@PACKAGE@";
This is ugly, but it has worked for years.
