Too early to specify a build action 'Build'. Do 'Build Build' instead

Question : While installing a perl module on AIX server saw the following error. After the download I ran the following commands to install the module.

# perl Makefile.PL
Checking if your kit is complete...
Looks good
Writing Makefile for Tie::IxHash
# make install
        /usr/bin/perl "-Iblib/arch" "-Iblib/lib" Build.PL Build
Too early to specify a build action 'Build'.  Do 'Build Build' instead.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 2.


Stop.
#

 Resolution :

Edit the generated Makefile as shown below :
1. Search for the following line in Makefile .

$(PERLRUNINST) Build.PL Build

2. Change it to as shown below :

$(PERLRUNINST) Build.PL &&Build

3. After this try "make install" again and it should complete successfully.
