Hi stevieb,
I should have said "you *can* do a make install first". It's just a habit for me to do it this way.
I understand, and on the system of a developer who knows what they're doing this is probably acceptable, but after thinking about it a bit more, I have to say that as general advice, I would strongly recommend against make install for running tests. Who knows how other peoples' systems are set up (not everyone uses perlbrew or local::lib - someone might even get the idea to do sudo make install and muck up their system Perl), and at the very least uninstalling a broken Perl module or reverting it to a previous state is no fun at all. The whole point of tests is that one should run them to find problems before install :-)
