2) To workaround, how do I get MakeMaker to install xsubpp in PERL_LIB?

You probably should install ExtUtils::ParseXS with INSTALLDIRS=perl
(give that argument to WriteMakefile) on general principles.
ExtUtils::xsubpp is a core module, so it should go
into the core (ie. "perl") directories. Unfortunately, ExtUtils::ParseXS
probably shouldn't, but there's no easy way to split them up and its not
worth the bother.

Great - you and Randy gave the same advice, so I suppose that's what I'll do.

The more I encounter these kinds of situations under MM, the more I think that the mantra for directory targeting under Module::Build needs to be something like "as simple as possible, or perhaps simpler".
