or a CPAN mirror near you.
This solves some problems encountered while syncing MakeMaker into bleadperl.
The big one involves finding hint files in the case where . is not in
your @INC (like, say, under taint mode). Also, $! is reported if a
hint file fails to load because of a file error (like it not being found).
bleadperl and 5.8.1-to-be will both have 6.06_05 shortly.
6.06_05 Mon Mar 31 02:44:11 PST 2003
- Syncing into bleadperl. Minor nits revealed...
- AutoSplit open filehandle bug was fixed in bleadperl. Averted a
warning because of this.
- hint files were only being loaded if . happened to be in @INC.
A bug/feature of File::Spec was stripping off the current dir from
the front of hintfile paths causing Perl to look for them in @INC.
Worked around.
- Now checking $! for errors if a hint file returns undef
- compile test was testing all of perl! Scaling back to just ExtUtils/
6.06_04 Sun Mar 30 20:34:39 PST 2003
- Now looking for ExtUtils::xsubpp through @INC rather than just
the perl core directories. This helps ExtUtils::ParseXS.
- Systems which don't put their libraries under their $Config{prefix}
(OS X, Debian) weren't putting their libraries in the spot declared
in Config. It was going under $Config{prefix}.
- Prerequisites check now deals better with X.Y_Z style alpha versions
- ExtUtils::Liblist->ext() was using $Config{perllibs} which is a 5.6.1
thing. Falling back to $Config{libs} if perllibs isn't there.
- ExtUtils::Command::MM now reads from @ARGV if called with no
args. Makes the one liner a bit simpler.
* Restored ExtUtils::Liblist::ext() for backwards compatibility.
Missing since 5.6.1.
- Switching to relative dirs for self-building to shorten
command line lengths.
- Fixing minor test warning on VMS when compiling ExtUtils::Manifest
- Skipping STDIN read prompt() tests on 5.5.3. Can't test due to
eof() not honor tied handles.
- Config.pm on 5.5.3 doesn't have any concept of vendor*. This was
causing warnings when generating the Makefile.
