| Subject: | Build Fails through CPAN shell |
When installing this module via the CPAN shell (perl -MCPAN -e shell) the install fails with "Too early to specify a build action 'Build'. Do 'Build Build' instead." I've put the full CPAN session below.
Versions:
perl, v5.8.4
CPAN module (v1.7601)
Test::Unix::Group also fails with the same problem.

Package seems to come without Makefile.PL.
(The test -f "/root/.cpan/build/Test-Unix-User-0.01/Makefile.PL" returned false.)
