Changes for version 2.027

  • added error handling to untar()s system call. Thanks to Paolo Campanella <paolo@mighty.co.za> for submitting the patch
  • fixed problems in untar() with Windows zip file listings
  • applied patch from Tanner Lovelace <clubjuggler@gmail.com> to fix problems with Mandrake builds having to do with document compression
  • another patch we owe to Garrick, this one strips out a = from --doc when present
  • fixes to prologue and epilogue whereby ||s were forcing scalar context
  • fixed typo
  • thanks to Garrick Staples <garrick@usc.edu> for providing the patch
  • this patch cleans up the POD text scribbled on spec files. Thanks to Garrick Staples <garrick@usc.edu> for providing the patch.
  • two small changes. The first simply puts single quotes around arguments with spaces in the comment at the top of the generated spec file. The second prevents the addition of the buildarch: tag if --spec-only was used, and --buildarch wasn't specified; this generates a more portable spec file. Thanks to Garrick Staples <garrick@usc.edu> for providing the patch.
  • fixed archive listing for Windows zip files. Thanks to Daniel J. McDonald <dan.mcdonanld@austinenergy.com> for the code.
  • patched untar() to properly deal with tarballs that don't contain directory entries (e.g. Image::Base)
  • renamed internal keys for cpanplus/cpan
  • added support notation for RHELv3 (thanks to Matt Allen <mallen@theebizshop.net> for his note on compatibility)
  • fixes for various tarball listing issues
  • changed fetch default to C<web> and permissible values of --fetch parameter
  • no longer attempts CPAN+, CPAN but uses passed value
  • fixed handling of aggregate values passed to --no-requires which was broken. Thanks to Joshua Daniel Franklin [joshuadf@u.washington.edu] for pointing this out.
