It turns out there was a similar question on the Catalyst list. You're absolutely right: the Scalar::Util from CPAN got installed as a dependency. By removing it, I reverted to the Debianized version; which version does have the XS support.
FWIW, there can be other differences between a Debianized version and CPAN. I'm not sure of the intricacies, but LIB::SAX (sic) has some sort of Debian-specific hook(s) in it. The Debian Catalyst package was a good bootstrap, and I was able to get Catalyst going from there (using CPAN to fill in the holes). Since I make a living using Debian, I don't really want to risk a major FUBAR by trying to combine Debian & Ubuntu. I've installed Rose::DB and ROSE::DB::Object from CPAN, and I'll track it that way.
