In about 12 years of doing perl I think I've never seen an
installation sequence that looks like that. I think you mean:
% perl Makefile.PL
% make
% make test
% sudo make install
In recent days you might also see some modules that use Module::Build
instead of MakeMaker, and those can have a different installation
sequence:
% perl Build.PL
% ./Build
% ./Build test
% sudo ./Build install
Well-behaved Module::Build-based modules will provide both options.
