It's not going to do the part that is being done by

    perl Makefile.PL
    make
    make test
[download]

It's merely going to do the make install and add the possibility to modify configurationfiles your application needs, create icons, etcetera through a userfriendly interface, and I think you agree with me that less-technical users will not really like the make-like process, especially when it can't find libraries (ones you either installed or not) just to build the application...

Use:  <p> text here (a paragraph) </p>

• Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
• Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:

  <code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>

• Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
• Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
