Additionally, here's an example of how to set specific prices in perl 
(4.6.x) using mv_price:

my $change_sku = $CGI->{mv_order_item};
my $cart = $Carts->{main};
my $count = 0;
foreach (@$cart){
         if ($this_sku eq $cart->[$count]{code}){
                 $cart->[$count]{mv_price} = $price;
         }
         $count++;
}
