Changes for version 0.2801 - 2006-05-21

  • Module::Build::Compat's emulation of INC is incorrectly prepending a -I to the value of INC. This is incorrect because there should already be a -I on the value. I.E. it's "perl Makefile.PL INC=-Ifoo" not "perl Makefile.PL INC=foo" so Compat should not prefix a -I.
    • Michael Schwern
  • Native batch scripts under Windows should not be converted by pl2bat. [Spotted by Ron Savage]
  • Tweaked the way we determine whether a file is executable on Unix. We use this determination to decide whether to make it executable during installation. [Julian Mehnle]
  • Replaced a vestigial 'next' with 'return' now that the code is in a subroutine (htmlify_pods()), not a loop. [Ron Savage]
  • Fixed a guaranteed failure in t/signature.t when TEST_SIGNATURE was set. [Eric R. Meyers]
  • Fixed a test failure that occurred when testing or installing in unattended mode - the code to test whether unattended mode and attended mode are working properly was assuming that we started out in attended mode. [Steve Peters]
  • Improved our stand-in YAML generator that we use to generate META.yaml when authors don't have a copy of YAML.pm installed on their machine. It was unable to handle things like embedded newlines in the data, now it has a much more extensive escaping mechanism. [Stephen Adkins]
  • Revised the docs for --prefix and PREFIX. [Michael Schwern]
