Make is a general utility used for controling the complation and linking of programs.

Shell is the command line interface of the computer.

What the make script can contain rather depends on whos make utility you are using.

is that mean that the makefile can contain any commands of any other scripting languages like shell and Perl??

No it means what it says, what you put in a make is dependent on whos make utility you are using.

Most make utilities can call to the shell and run third party programs (like compilers for instance).
