I'm pleased to announce the upload of a new CPAN release 1.80. Thanks
to all involved people, especially those who didn't make it into the
releasenotes. I hope you have the appropriate amount of fun or a least
not too many annoying encounters with it. Thank you.
============================ Releasenotes ============================
* support for Module::Signature courtesy Autrijus Tang
* separated out new module CPAN::Version that has muchly improved
support for multidot version notation that should make the
deployment of version.pm easy for everybody. During the last weeks
the indexer on PAUSE also got improved version.pm support and
spits out numified versions. This release is optimized for the new
version handling, regardless if used with or without version.pm
(Thanks to John Peacock and to Graham Barr for their help)
* new pragma 'notest' courtesy Slaven Rezic
* support for sudo in the config variable
'make_install_make_command' courtesy Michael Richardson
* new commands 'recent' and 'perldoc' courtesy Toni Prug
* improved wget support for Windows users courtesy Daniel
* cleanup internal use of CPAN::Frontend courtesy David Storrs
* fixes to distro bugs by Adriano Ferreira
* runs under 5.004_05 courtesy Sébastien Aperghis-Tramoni

* better completion for config variables and a new warning if an
unregistered config variable is being set
