Is there any way for a Perl module to tell that it is being run by a 
Perl that was built with -DDEBUGGING enabled?

I can put a "#ifdef DEBUGGING ... #endif" block in the module's XS to 
tell if the Perl that the module is built with is a DEBUGGING Perl, but 
that won't catch the case where somebody builds the module with a 
non-DEBUGGING Perl and then moves the module (.pm and loadable object) 
into a DEBUGGING Perl's library tree.

Thanks,
- Steve
