I would normally write that as:
perl Makefile.PL INC="-Ic:/fred"

Not sure about the need for quotes, but I think the '-I' is necessary if you 
want it to dwim.

I can't answer that exact question, but I can confirm that specifying INC 
via the command line *does* override what's supplied in the Makefile.PL via 
the INC option to WriteMakefile().

At least it does for me with EU::MM 6.42.
