I'm thinking of something really obvious here. :-) Did you run perl on
h2xs.PL to get h2xs? Because when it says something like

h2xs -A -n MyModule

it means h2xs, not h2xs.PL.

Uppercase PL suffixes are a good clue that you're meant to run perl on 'em
to extract an actual working script. Makefile.PL is ike this, sort of, and
another example is dprofpp.PL.
