No, YOU are not helpful here. You should NOT install Perl modules
without running "make test". Also you're generally on your own if "make test"
fails
and you install the modules nonetheless. Your're welcome to submit a bug report
in this case, though.

Nonsense, PAR::Packer states (Makefile.PL)
requires 'Module::ScanDeps' => '1.17';
If you did the whole "download and unpack tarball, perl Makefile.PL, make, make
test, make install" dance by hand, then running "perl Makefile.PL" would have
shown that you are missing dependencies. If you did ignore that, then
at least "make test" would have failed.
BTW, I heavily recommend to use a program like "cpan" (comes with Perl core) or
"cpanm" to install Perl modules. Both would have inferred the above dependency
of PAR::Packer and installed Modules::ScanDeps BEFORE working on PAR::Packer.
Cheers, Roderich
