I might not have been clear-- when version was installed, it installed the XS version and thus did not install the pure-perl version. When the second interpreter tried to load it, it could not load the XS (because it was tucked away in a different path). However, since the installation didn't install the pure-perl version, it couldn't find it to fall back on. I had to re-install it, forcing the build/install process to install the pure-perl version. (Of course, this was the point at which I learned that the two interpreters were not in fact binary-compatible as I'd been told, so I made other adjustments to the greater scope that have since rendered this specific problem moot.)

Can't locate version/vpp.pm in @INC
Can someone tell me what causes this failure? http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.cpan.testers/2008/09/msg2187300.html the latest Module::Inspector (1.05) is installed http://search.cpan.org/dist/Module-Inspector/ and that module has not test failure at all. Gabor
