in thread Varying module build options

I also run a script that creates the real .pm file from the file I maintain.

I use a similar approach with forks, but that script is integrated into the build process. The XS file is needed for 5.6.X is different from the one that is needed with 5.8.X. When you execute Makefile.PL, it creates the version of the XS file that is needed for that version of Perl. I assume a similar approach could be used for your Perl module.
