Ah, yes. I guess the .pm's live in the ext directory. But if the extn is
not built they are not installed. So you won't have the pure pperl
version installed.
This probably does not matter. The pure perl fallback was added so people
without C compilers (mainly windows users) could install the module.
But as they must have a C compiler because they are building perl, the
fallback should not be needed.
