Changes for version 0.16 - 2003-02-24

  • All three C compilers that perl supports on Windows environments (MSVC, BCC, and GCC) are now supported by Module::Build. We now reportedly pass all tests on Windows. [Randy W. Sims]
  • The test t/xs.t, which tests building of XS modules, will be skipped if no C compiler is found. [suggested by Randy W. Sims]
  • The "install" action accepts new "destdir" [motivated by Michael Schwern and Chip Salzenberg] and "uninst" parameters [by Dave Rolsky]. The former prepends an arbitrary directory to all installation paths (useful for package management), and the latter will tell ExtUtils::Install to remove any differing files that are "shadowing" the stuff you're installing from a different location, just like MakeMaker's "make install UNINST=1" command will do.
  • Made changes to the generated Makefile in Module::Build::Compat that much better support Windows platforms [after suggestions by James Freeman]
  • Added experimental support for creating distribution SIGNATURE files via Module::Signature. [Dave Rolsky]
  • Added experimental support for installing via the "only.pm" module, which allows loading specific versions of modules. Since this module is so new, the interface may still be changing. [Brian Ingerson]
  • Added support for installing executable scripts, via the 'scripts' parameter to new(), and the scripts() accessor method.
  • Fix an infinite loop that occurred when doing 'perl Build.PL config="foo=bar"'
  • Fix up the formatting of the error message the user gets when prereqs aren't satisfied.
