You are NOT supposed to modify the Makefile by hand. If you need to 
make some changes, do them in the Makefile.PL.

I don't think the makefiles generated by Perl are the best examples 
for learning. The MakeMaker was designed to be portable, not easy to 
read. You could go over the Makefile and delete the targets that you 
think you do not need, but I would not want to have to do things like 
that.

You can trim it down, but I don't think there is any (semi)automated 
tool to help you with that.
