It probably isn't hard to do.
But I thought Perl had its own build and install program.

There are several ways to do this.
If you plan to install the docs, just make them data:
docdir = $(prefix)/install/directory/for/docs
doc_DATA = list the outputs
This will cause the docs to be built by whatever rules you include for
building them.
Ti> make test
Ordinarily this is called "make check" in the automake world.
Ti> make prep
What does this do?
