I've a notion that you can override the default CC with (untested):

perl Makefile.PL CC=whatever

but if that turns out to be not the case, or doesn't really suit, then 
there's always the option of using tied():

##############################
C:\>type Makefile.PL

use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;

$obj = tied(%Config::Config);
$obj->{cc} = 'whatever';

print $Config::Config{cc}, "\n";

C:\>perl Makefile.PL
whatever

C:\>
##############################

Sorry if neither of those options are of any use :-)
