Changes for version 6.16 - 2003-08-18

  • Fixing the max exec length for Windows to account for old versions of nmake (the one you can download for free from MS).
  • Hack to normalize //foo//bar paths in ExtUtils::Installed.
    • Sreeji K Das
  • Adding Module::Build utility files to MANIFEST.SKIP
  • PREREQ_PRINT is supposed to exit after dumping. (Wolfgang Friebel bleadperl@20530)
  • maniadd() was trying to open the MANIFEST even if it didn't need to causing unnecessary errors for read-only MANIFESTs (rt.cpan.org 3180)
