Great. I checked out libwin32-0.191 and it does seem to magically cascade to Makefile.PL's. But a little experimentation showed the trick is to ensure that each makefile is only one directory below the next. So even though h2xs builds a tree, the next set of modules only want the leaf directory of that tree, and in fact build totally correctly regardless as to what that leaf directory is called. (the latter fact is not shown below. Anyways thanks for the heads up on how to figure this out, I hope its as useful to scain as it has been to me.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
