Yes, this is possible though it might give you quite some headaches :) We
use this in the SpamAssassin Makefile.PL [1] quite extensively. Have a
look. If you don't need to do fancy things, it boils down to setting
$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::Recognized_Att_Keys{'PARSER'} = 1
and later feeding that value to your Makefile.PL (eg. via 'macro'). But you
need to parse @ARGV yourself, EU::MM doesn't do that for you.
Cheers,
Malte
