If you've already got a (perhaps older) version of Perl knocking about, then I'd strongly recommend installing App::perlbrew through CPAN. perlbrew can be used to build, manage and switch between multiple versions of Perl on the same machine. It makes things very simple.

Anyway, it sounds like one of the built files in /home/jeena/bin/perl-5.18.0_source/dist/Attribute-Handlers is older than the Makefile, so make thinks your Makefile has been recently modified and wants to re-start the make. Normally you'd just type "make" here and everything would be fine and dandy. However, if that's not working, it could be a permissions problem that's preventing make from clearing away some remnants from the last time it was run. Try doing something like chmod -R u+rw /home/jeena/bin/perl-5.18.0_source to make sure you have full read/write permission over everything in the build directory.

package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name
