From nate@valleytel.net

Perl currently does not automatically compile extension modules put
under PERL_SRC/ext/ if the module has more than two layers of depth
before the .xs file. For example, Configure does not find
"ext/XML/Parser/Expat" and thus does not compile it. The following
patch should help to fix this.

This patch is against the Configure distributed with 5.00554, but I
assume that it should work against the current version as well. Note
that even with this patch, MakeMaker will still give a spurious error
message. It can safely be ignored, and probably could be fixed most
easily by passing PERL_SRC to ext/util/make_ext in Makefile.SH.

I'm guessing the patch is as portable as the rest of Configure, but if
it is not I suppose one could ditch the recursion and just add another
couple layers of checking by brute force.

Hope this is useful,
