I've got questions about the MakeMaker portion of the patch. "doc_inst_perl" target may get confused in absense of Makefile.PL; Under what conditions is there no Makefile.PL? enable parallel build of subdirs (useful due to the way static perl binary distribution is created). Could you explain this further? The code does not appear to be changing the building of subdirs but the testing of them. Is the idea to add a new subdirs-test target so that parallel make has a target to parallelize thus allowing the top tests and subdir test to run simultaneously? How is this related to static builds?
