Happy new year! Here's a release candidate for MakeMaker fixing, amongst other things, installation with 5.6.1, weird interactions with people who have installed Exporter from CPAN, keeping Apple's tar from spewing resource fork files and a fix for Win32 Pugs users.
http://www.pobox.com/~schwern/src/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.43_01.tar.gz 6.43_01 Tue Jan 1 16:06:47 PST 2008 Bug Fixes * Change the "is this really a Perl core library directory" checks to look for strict instead of Exporter. Now that Exporter is on CPAN it can wind up in site_perl. * split_command() will now set aside a little more space for macro expansion. This should help on systems with cramped command line lengths. Specifically, Pugs on Win32. [rt.cpan.org 20145] Installation * MakeMaker would not install if the installed MakeMaker was too old, like on 5.6.1. The installation process was still using the installed MakeMaker in a few places. This has been fixed. [rt.cpan.org 24746] OS X * "make dist" will no longer bundle up resource fork files (._foo). [rt.cpan.org 29525] Docs * The documentation of VERSION_FROM was recommending vstrings (1.2.3) which have never worked right. * The documentation for the accepted values of LICENSE moved to Module::Build::API. [rt.cpan.org 32020] Tests * The compilation test was testing the installed modules, not the about-to-be-installed. * xs.t would fail if ExtUtils::CBuilder was not installed. Misc * Cleanups brought to you by no more 5.5 compatibility! * MakeMaker is now perlcritic clean at severity level 5... except the really silly ones. * DIE use vars DIE! * Added some resources to the META.yml 6.42 Fri Dec 7 17:00:14 PST 2007 Bug Fixes - 6.33 moved PREREQ_FATAL to happen after CONFIGURE. This meant if your CONFIGURE use a prereq it would fail and no PREREQ_FATAL message would be displayed. - Put the "nicetext" functionality back, VMS needs it to deal with other people's custom make. But rename it to the more accurate maketext_filter(), test it and fix a bug where it would stop processing if it saw a macro declaration. -- Stabbing you in the face for your own good.
