I don't do much C compilation myself. MakeMaker generally goes with whatever
perl was configured to use. Check your Config settings, particuarlly
$Config{cpp} and $Config{cpprun}. I think you can override this by passing
CCCMD=g++ when running make (ie. make CCCMD=g++). I don't think there's a way
to change it in the Makefile.PL short of editing your Config.pm.
