in reply to Perl6 - Module::Build

I might be alone in this, but i'd like to see some way of installing it in one step, without make && make test && make install (or the Module::Build equivalents).

    Isn't that make install?

    I run a Win32 PPM repository for perl 5.6.x and 5.8.x -- I take requests (README).

      I never knew that worked. Why do they always say make && make test && make install then?

        Because each step can fail, and you generally don't want to make install if you haven't gotten past make, or make test (although make install first does a make, things can get hard to follow).
