When should you prefer Makefile

When working with Perl, you may encounter situations where using a Makefile is preferred. A Makefile provides a standardized way to automate the build process for your Perl modules and applications. You should consider using a Makefile when:

• You need to manage dependencies effectively.
• You want to distribute your Perl module for CPAN or other repositories.
• You require customization in the build process based on specific configurations or system environments.
• You plan to perform compilation or linking of C/C++ code alongside your Perl scripts.

Using a Makefile can streamline the installation and distribution process of your Perl applications, making it easier for users to deploy and use your code.
