- Don't spuriously define pasthru arguments
Changes for version 6.21_03
- Minor potential glitch in the version check logic.
- Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway.
- Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP.
- Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run.
- Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson]
- test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}.
- Greg Matheson
- instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available.
- Slaven Rezic
- instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives.
- Slaven Rezic
- Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?" and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie]
- Fixed finding the default MANIFEST.SKIP if its on a different volume
- Ilya Zakharevich
- When building Perl, we had a chance of picking up the old installed xsubpp from @INC [Andreas Koenig]
- makeaperl() now a bit more intellegent about ignoring perl libraries not called libperl. [Ilya Zakharevich bleadperl@22032]
- MacOS Classic (MacPerl) is no longer supported. Please use Module::Build instead.
- Restored pm_to_blib.ts so pm_to_blib generation will be quiessent on VMS. [rt 4675]
- For simplicity, dir_target() is now a no-op. Should not effect any existing uses.
- Converted utility commands from using $(PERLRUN) to $(ABSPERLRUN). This allows distclean to work with SDBM_File. [rt 5616]
- realclean was using "rm -f" instead of "rm -rf" meaning directories wouldn't be properly cleaned. Caused by bleadperl@7952. [rt 5208]
- fixpath() could undo wraplist() on VMS [rt 4955]
- ensure ExtUtils::Command::rm_f deletes all versions of a file on VMS
- hint.t generating improperly named hint files on OS's where $^O contains a '.'. They should be converted to underscores. Test mistake, not a bug. [rt 5365]
- Fixed ExtUtils::Command::chmod() so it will work on directories on VMS. [rt 4676]
- parse_version.t was using no_plan causing trouble on older T::Hs.
