Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
+ - When checking prerequisites, the required version of perl is now
+ checked before we start finding the $VERSION declaration of the
+ distribution, which results in much more intuitive error messages
+ e.g. if the author is using 5.6-isms in their declaration but the
+ user doesn't have 5.6. [Slaven Rezic]
+
- Added 'artistic_2' license, corrected 'lgpl' license url (bug #29783)
