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.)
