.xs files under lib with ExtUtils::MakeMaker?

Anonymous Monk has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

How can I have .xs files in lib? I tried adding the files myself

my %XS = do {
    local *ARGV;
    @ARGV = 'MANIFEST';
    map {
        chomp;
        my $f = $_;
        s!\.xs$!\.c!;
        $f => $_;
    } 
    grep /\.xs$/, <>;
};
WriteMakefile( 'XS' => \%XS,
...
[download]

but didnt work

Thanks

You might find it easier to create the skeleton using `h2xs -n`project then manually editing the Makefile.	[reply] [d/l]

Makefile.PL is not Makefile, and it doesn't help `$ h2xs -n CDRAKE Defaulting to backwards compatibility with perl 5.8.9 If you intend this module to be compatible with earlier perl versions, + please specify a minimum perl version with the -b option.
