If I use h2xs to generate a file (see below) 
$ h2xs lib/MyModule/Drv/MyCode.h 
Writing MyCode/MyCode.pm
Writing MyCode/MyCode.xs
Writing MyCode/Makefile.PL
Writing MyCode/README
Writing MyCode/test.pl
Writing MyCode/Changes
Writing MyCode/MANIFEST

[download]
What I require is a Makefile.PL, README, MANIFEST etc into the current directory I am in, and to put the .xs file in the lib/MyModule/Drv/MyCode.h.

As I mentioned before this is because the directory I am in is an already existing perl module that has been worked on for a while, I am just trying to add a single XS file to it.

Taking the results of this and hacking it into my existing Makefile.PL does not seem to work. It seems that ExtUtils::MakeMaker only wants to make Makefiles that build .xs files if they are in the same directory.

Ahhh... Still stuck :-(
