Ah. CPAN has no way of knowing this...

You might look at the facility in ExtUtils::MakeMaker of doing
subdirectories with Makefile.PLs, via DIR. Admittedly, the MakeMaker
documentation of that is lacking, in that the manpage refers to
ext/SDBM_File as using it - which it doesn't. However, I suspect this
will be the easiest to maintain long-term with changes in CPAN.
