M::B should invoke your test file with the correct perl. So in that
file you can do, eg, ...
use Config;
my $perl = $Config{perlpath}
system($perl, 'myscript', @args_for_my_script);
If you're unsure about whether it's Doing The Right Thing, then you can
upload a dev version (you mark developer-only versions of distributions
by putting an underscore in the version, eg My-Dist-0.40_94.tar.gz) to
the CPAN. Real users won't see it, but the CPAN-testers will.
