Test::More::can() can't find method

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

I'm attempting to install Audio::Taglib. In this distribution, most of the methods are in .xs files. After building the dist (with the appropriate version of taglib), testing fails, for example:

perl -Iblib/lib -Iblib/arch t/TagLib_APE_Footer.t
1..20
ok 1 - use Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer;
not ok 2 - Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer->can(...)
#   Failed test 'Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer->can(...)'
#   at t/TagLib_APE_Footer.t line 19.
#     Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer->can('new') failed
#     Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer->can('DESTROY') failed
#     Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer->can('version') failed
# can_ok failed
Can't locate object method "new" via package 
"Audio::TagLib::APE::Footer" at t/TagLib_APE_Footer.t line 22.
[download]

and so on, for all of the module test. The missing methods are in the .xs files.

This dist fails miserably on the automated tests because the available version of the taglib is not supported by TagLib. I've provided the correct version.

Any suggestions?
