Jarkko, your patch is in the works.
Craig & Thomas, sorry, no 8 level fix this release. I want to leave
basic.t alone for a bit and work on PREFIX.
Tested on:
Linux 5.6.0, 5.6.1, 5.7.3
Tru64 5.6.0
OpenVMS 5.6.1 with MMS
Cygwin 5.6.1
ActivePerl/Win95 5.6.1 build 631 with nmake
5.55_01 Thu Apr 4 23:58:06 EST 2002
[[ API Changes ]]
* Long deprecated INST_EXE completely removed.
- Removing TEST_LIBS constant (never seen in a stable MM anyway)
- Added $default argument to prefixify() for safer prefixification.
[[ Bug Fixes ]]
- $mm->{PERM_*} were not being set
- fixin() redundantly chmod'ing scripts. Let the Makefile do that.
- The above means MM_Unix will now compile cleanly under strict
* init_dirscan's search for Makefile.PL's will no longer look
inside a distdir.
* Fixed running tests when there are t/'s in subdirs.
- MM_DOS inheriting from MM_Unix instead of MM_Win32. DJGPP
appears to be unix-like (bleadperl@15650)
- Escaping constants with # in them so they're not confused as
make comments (bleadperl)
* ExtUtils::MM_Win95 didn't return a true value
- Fixing disttest when perl is a relative path.
* Fixed disttest & tests in subdirs on Win95
- Fixed recursive Makefile.PL scan on VMS so it skips the distdir
- Fixed a bug when an alternative MAKEFILE is specified and you're
using something other than a Makefile.PL (RT 444)
- Quieting uninit warning when there are no tests.
[[ Doc Fixes ]]
- Documented INSTALLMAN*DIR == 'none' feature.
[[ Test Fixes ]]
- Paul Green's which_perl patch to build a proper Perl on systems
that use command extensions.
- basic.t's Makefile.PL PREFIX call wasn't properly quoted for VMS
(Craig Berry)
- little initialization glitch in MM_Win32.t
[[ Internals ]]
- INST_* constants moved to init_INST
- INSTALL* constants moved to inst_INSTALL
* Internal warning supression removed.
- Temporarily turning off SelfLoader in MM_Unix so warnings
have the right line numbers.
