In this case, would something like the following work?

package main;
use strict;
use warnings;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw( WriteMakefile );
my $parms = {
    NAME            => 'Module::Name',
};

WriteMakefile( %$parms );

package MY;

sub postamble {
    return <<'MAKE_FRAG';
new_target:
    $(PERL) -e "print qq{Hello from new_target\n}"

MAKE_FRAG
}

sub top_targets {
  my $inherited = shift->SUPER::top_targets(@_);
  $inherited =~ s/(\npure_all\s+::.+)/$1 new_target/;
  return $inherited;
}

1;

This adds a new new_target target, which is then carried out at the nmake stage, without having to specify nmake new_target explicitly.

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
