	So far, nothing too hot:

--snip--
PERL_MODULE = Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/blib/arch/auto/Net/BitTorrent/LibBTT/LibBTT.so

Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile: Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile.PL
	cd Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT && \
        APR_CONFIG=@APR_CONFIG@ $(PERL) Makefile.PL \
        CCFLAGS="-I../.. $(CPPFLAGS) $(CFLAGS)" LDDLFLAGS=$(LDDLFLAGS)

$(PERL_MODULE): Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile
	$(MAKE) -C Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT


if BUILD_PERL

install-exec-local:: $(PERL_MODULE)
	$(MAKE) -C Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT install
        
clean-local::
	@if test -e Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT/Makefile; then $(MAKE) -C
Net-BitTorrent-LibBTT distclean; fi

all-local:: $(PERL_MODULE)

endif
--snip--


	Ideally, I want to generalize this a bit more. The main problem is
dertermining a good "make" target to signify that a module has been
compiled. There's pm_to_blib, but that's not always accurate. Or maybe I
should just dumbly "make" in the perl directory every single time an
appropriate target is invoked from outside? Either way, make/automake need a
target they can point at and say "ah, that means the perl module"...
