Subject: Option to use parallel make
I have a shiny new multi-core laptop, but perlbrew is building perl using just one core. It would be nice if there was a way to pass arguments to make, like -j3. Thank you.
Looks like there is an undocumented -j option that does this, but only for make. Testing is not done in parallel. perlbrew needs to set the TEST_JOBS environment variable if -j is greater than 1.
I've sent a pull request that addresses these issues.
One can do `perlbrew -j2` (or -j4) to delegate `-j` to `make` now in 0.18. this should work for both compiling and testing.
