Leave them as you get them (as they're installed). So, MacPerl folder and
MacPerl_Src are usually separate folders at the top level of your HD.

When I actually do builds, the current build folder - say, NewModule - is
in the folder HD:MacPerl_Src:perl:ext.

You've missed a few XS Lite instalments... :-) Seriously, what are you
building? Unless you're looking to rebuild MacPerl itself, odds are you
don't need NuToolsLibs.o (I've got a copy of this myself, of some
uncertain vintage).

???? I don't understand "bad" XL folder. You mean you don't have one? It's
in MacPerl_Src. Or it's not being found?

I won't comment on the initial installation and configuration, but as
far as building extensions, I've had a few installments on doing precisely
this on the mailing list so far, for folks who have Codewarrior. See if
you can dig up the posts. 

What platform are you on? PPC or CFM68K? If your extension involves a
single XS file, and no external library, email it if you like and I'll
take a look.
