Changes for version 1.50_02

  • SVN revision 39.
  • Synchronize with the changes that were made in blead perl patch #33567. VMS changes by Craig Berry. See
  • http://public.activestate.com/cgi-bin/perlbrowse/p/33567
  • This was marked in the pod as 1.51 but not actually version bumped.
  • So I've marked it as 1.50_02 as a test release prior to putting it out as the real 1.51
  • This release also restores the missing installed.t which was accidentally missed by the MANIFEST having a duplicate entry for install.t instead. Probably something should have warned about this, but I haven't worked out what.
  • Includes changes from Activestate/ActivePerl:
  • To make installation less chatty when not under verbose mode. See
  • http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=5903
  • To install HTML documentation files under builds that set $Config{installhtmldir} (and presumably also create HTML versions of the pod -- which is quite nice actually :-)
