Hi, so after splitting CPAN::Shell I created a branch and in that branch a moved all the code of the other packages to the respective files. Every module was moved in a separate commit and before the commit (sorry David I got your e-mail only when I was already in the middle) I made any changes that were required for the separation.
I tried to make sure everything works every time by running the test suit but I still found a couple issues I had to deal with in later commits. Most notably in several cases the tests passed on 5.8.8 on Ubuntu and failed on Portable Strawberry beta 1. I fixed those. Unfortunately I mistakenly changed the file format from UNIX to DOS in two cases. Once I noticed the mistake I reverted the changes using inverse merge and then applied the small change of adding use Carp. I hope this will not render my work unusable for you. So right now (r3499) all test pass on both platforms I checked. I am also going to try to use the new version by typing: perl -Ilib -MCPAN -eshell so far one module installed well (at least according to CPAN.pm) but one had really strange warnings. I am sending it in a separate e-mail. I am not sure at all if the problem is CPAN.pm related. Anyway, I think I am going to stop my big changes now and I'd like to understand what need to be done to check if it works and when can it be merged to trunk if at all. I think I'll continue to the next set of changes once I know these changes can be merged back to trunk. Then I guess I'll create another branch to work on. Gabor
