Installation fails when installing IO::Pager as part of a Homebrew installation:
```

Immediately running `make` again succeeds:
```
david@fineman IO-Pager-2.01 % make
cp blib/lib/IO/Pager/tp blib/script/tp
"/usr/local/Cellar/perl/5.32.0/bin/perl" -MExtUtils::MY -e 'MY->fixin(shift)' -- blib/script/tp

Here’s the version of make:
```
david@fineman IO-Pager-2.01 % make version
make: *** No rule to make target `version'. Stop.
david@fineman IO-Pager-2.01 % make --version

Seems like it tries to make blib/script/tp before it makes blib/lib/IO/Pager/tp. I think this can be fixed by depending on lib, not blib; here’s the patch:
```
diff --git a/Makefile.PL b/Makefile.PL
index f748bbf..13b355f 100644
--- a/Makefile.PL
+++ b/Makefile.PL
@@ -26,7 +26,7 @@ WriteMakefile(

And the result:
