Look at the Tangram test suite in 2.08_05; it asks for information about where to find a database to connect for tests, saves the information to a state file in t/. It also correctly handles the situation where no information is given, by altering the test manifest. It doesn't use ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt, though arguably it should.
