The feature everyone's been asking for, you can finally alter how the META.yml is written. Borrowing from Module::Build, you can now specify META_MERGE and META_ADD in your Makefile.PL to add new values to META.yml. META_MERGE merges the new values with the defaults, META_ADD overwrites. This allows MakeMaker users to take full advantage of META.yml and specify things MakeMaker does not explicitly support, like resources and build_requires. NOTE: EXTRA_META has been REMOVED! It was never documented, anyone using it should switch to using META_MERGE. Finally, the latest META.yml spec is used (1.4). A practical example of use is here: http://search.cpan.org/src/MSCHWERN/Test-Simple-0.81_02/Makefile.PL 6.46 Sat Sep 27 17:34:03 EDT 2008 Bug Fixes - Fix META_MERGE for more than one level of hashes. [rt.cpan.org 39348] 6.45_02 Sun Sep 7 13:59:14 PDT 2008 Bug Fixes - Updated bundled ExtUtils::Command to 1.14, ExtUtils::Install to 1.50 and ExtUtils::Manifest to 1.54 Test Fixes - t/writemakefile_args.t had the wrong skip amoung causing failures when run without version.pm (mostly 5.6 users) 6.45_01 Sat Sep 6 03:19:03 PDT 2008 New Features * META_ADD and META_MERGE have been added to manipulate the META.yml. Thanks to Adriano Ferreira. [rt.cpan.org 21282] - META.yml now includes configure_requires ExtUtils::MakeMaker by default. [rt.cpan.org 32337] - META.yml now excludes t/ and inc/ from indexing by default. - META.yml license is now "unknown" instead of undef if a LICENSE is not given. - META.yml now conforms to version 1.4 of the spec. Bug Fixes - Make @MM_Sections and @Overridable global again. It's an undocumented but used way to manipulate MakeMaker behavior. [rt.cpan.org 36047] Portability * Changed the name/dmake test in MM_Win32.pm to use regexs to that they are able to handle Perl on a Stick absolute paths. 6.44 Thu Feb 28 16:06:04 PST 2008 Bug Fixes * Updated bundled ExtUtils::Install to 1.45 which should fix some Cygwin issues. [rt.cpan.org 33291] -- Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. < -- Phillip K. Dick
