Is this still an issue? Actually, I know it is. My
blib/script/parl was missing during install until I happened to
find this ancient posting and try using /usr/bin/make rather than
my alias make='make -j3'.
I've had -j3 in my cpan configs and as a bash alias since
probably 2005 and this is the first problem I can recall with it
(C, python, Perl or otherwise) so far.
If the PAR Makefile doesn't work under -j3, then I submit that
it's missing a dependency, since make resolves this stuff
internally.
But if you really want to disable parallel, you could use this
(only works for GNU).
sub MY::postamble {
my $postamble = <<'MAKE_FRAG';
.NOTPARALLEL
MAKE_FRAG
return $postamble;
}
