module install question

[a]

Hi
According to the instruction of the README for the downloaded module, the
installation procedure always,
perl Makefile.pl
make
make test
make install
I can only do perl Makefile.pl. The make commands are all failed and there
is no test and install file. Do the last 3 commands necessary?
Thanks

What OS are you on?
What are the *exact* error messages you are getting?

I use cygwin.
/bin/make
/bin/sh: 0: command not found
make: *** [blib/lib/.exists] error 127
For make test and make install,
there is no test and install file

You have cygwin installed wrong. It's probably easiest to just reinstall
from the Setup.exe.

No, that's expected. 'make test' doesn't use a 'test' file.
