you will first need make to install Module::Build

No, you don't actually need make to install Module::Build.
From its README: 
To install "Module::Build", and any other module that uses
"Module::Build" for its installation process, do the following:

perl Build.PL       # 'Build.PL' script creates the 'Build' script
./Build             # Need ./ to ensure we're using this "Build" scrip
+t
./Build test        # and not another one that happens to be in the PA
+TH
./Build install

[download]
Module::Build does ship with a Makefile.PL, thus making it possible to install using EU::MM and a make utility.
But you're not forced to install it that way.

Cheers,
Rob
