Hi, I posted this to the [EMAIL PROTECTED] list a while back (January 11), but I think it may also be of interest to the makemaker list. More info on Module::Build is available at
http://search.cpan.org/search?dist=Module-Build -Ken -------------------------------------------------------------- The uploaded file Module-Build-0.05.tar.gz has entered CPAN as file: $CPAN/authors/id/K/KW/KWILLIAMS/Module-Build-0.05.tar.gz size: 22553 bytes md5: 224d124f058186d1a6c8f8bcc4850023 Changes since 0.04: - Added the Module::Build->subclass() method, which makes it easier to make quick-and-dirty subclasses of Module::Build. - Reorganized the docs a bit. - Added the 'testdb' action, and the 'debugger=1' argument to the 'test' action, both of which run tests under the perl debugger. (idea: Dave Rolsky) - Added prerequisite checking (Dave Rolsky) XXX Needs to write _build/prereq - Fixed an unlikely-to-occur bug with misquoted strings in the 'Build' script (spot: Dave Rolsky) - We're more careful about shush-ing warnings that ExtUtils::Manifest might emit (Dave Rolsky) - The 'help' action now auto-generates the list of actions (Dave Rolsky) - Added the 'distcheck', 'skipcheck', 'distclean', 'distdir', and 'disttest' actions (Dave Rolsky) - We're a little more aggressive about cleaning up temporary files - we'll try to clean them up even when we don't have write permission on them. This isn't as dastardly as it sounds; if we /really/ don't have permission, we won't be able to remove them no matter how hard we try.
