Try:
   #!/bin/sh
   perl Build.PL
   err=''
   ./Build && ./Build test || err="failed"
   echo "$err" | grep -q "failed" || ./Build install

Actually, I recommend a more readable and elaborated scenario, but this
should be *sort* of portable, and wouldn't take but a few minutes.

Even better, use Perl.

  #!/usr/local/bin/perl
  do 'Build.pl';
  system "./Build" ? die "./Build failed -- $!\n"         : system "./Build
test"
                   ? die "./Build test failed -- $!\n"    : system "./Build
install"
                   ? die "./Build install failed -- $!\n" : print "Install
done.\n";
        
You might need to tweak that a bit, but it's still much more powerful,
flexible, and precise....
