Whether the distribution has an XS component or not (TT2 does, your
example doesn't). See INSTALL* and INST_* in EUMM's docs, though it's
rather difficult to work out exactly what goes where.
I think the simple rule is 'if there are any files under blib/arch at
install time, use the arch-dependant directory'; normally that is
something like /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.10.1/i386-freebsd but
you must be using one of the Linux distros (Debian?) that maps SITELIB
to /usr/local/share/perl and SITEARCH to /usr/local/lib/perl.
