The documentation in the readme on Github, contains the following commands to build, test and install.

perl Makefile.PL
perl -I. pure-perl-make 
perl -Mblib pure-perl-make test 
perl -Mblib pure-perl-make install 

The do not work with the current directory structure. I'm guessing there was a change somewhere and this POD was not updated.

I found the following commands worked for me:

perl Makefile.PL
perl -Ilib ./scripts/pure-perl-make
perl -Mblib ./scripts/pure-perl-make test
perl -Mblib ./scripts/pure-perl-make install

I sought this out because I was trying to install a few pure perl packages on my Synology NAS using the perl 5.28 available for it. Synology does not ship with a version of make. As such, I needed a way to get a "make" to be used to install other packages. This worked quite nicely for me once I made the changes above and then created a link from pure-perl-make to make. I installed App::cpm from the self-contained package on its Github site and then issued cpm install -gv App::cpm to have it perform a full install to my local::lib. Afterwards, I installed YAML:PP and JSON::PP.

Thank you for the package.

Thank you for the kind words! Feel like PR-ing a doc patch?
