I see two things wrong: single quotes don't interpolate, $(PATH)
doesn't mean what you thing it means.  Change the code to:

LIBS => [ "-lm -L$PATH -lmlib" ],

"$(PATH)" expands to $( . 'PATH)', $( is the real GID of the current
process (see [perldoc perlvar][1]).  You may have meant "${PATH}", but
that is not necessary since the string is not ambiguous (it is need in
cases like this "${foo}bar" where Perl will think you want the
variable $foobar rather than what you want: $foo).
