  • Fixed a typo causing bad Makefiles for Visual C++ users (Steve Hay)
  • New Features
  • The new "package NAME VERSION" syntax from 5.11 is now supported by parse_version() and thus VERSION_FROM. The first version declaration, package or $VERSION, is used. (David Golden)

Changes for version 6.55_02 - 2009-08-05

  • Feature Changes
  • PREFIX now applies to relative directories. This is a change since 6.20 when they were ignored. Its necessary for relocatable Perls.
  • VMS
  • Refactoring of "MakeMaker Parameters" section in 6.55_01 broke VMS. (Craig Berry)

Changes for version 6.55_01 - 2009-07-14

  • Test Fixes
  • The tests got a bit overzealous and removed the LIB environment variable while is necessary for some compilers to work. [rt.cpan.org 47722] (Jan Dubois)
  • Another fix for arch_check() on Windows changing how we normalize long and short filenames. [rt.cpan.org 47723] (Jan Dubois)
  • New Features
  • BUILD_REQUIRES is added, similar to PREREQ_PM but for modules which are necessary to build, but not run, your module. (Alexandr Ciornii)
