App-cpanminus-0.999_05

Changes for version 0.999_05 - 2010-04-21

Improvements
- Fixed a problem when uninstalling shadows fail with an old ExtUtils::Install by bootstrapping it to require 1.46

Improvements
- Improved --skip-installed so sub packages version in a distribution can be compared correctly
- --look command is now back, per popular demands
Bug Fixes
- Fixed broken configure_requires in 0.999_01

This is the first release candidate for 1.00
INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES
- Do not support (undocumented) CPANMINUS_* environment variable anymore. Use PERL_CPANM_* instead
- Plugins are not supported anymore. They will be available as part of a new client!
- Deleted --look command
- Deleted --recent command
Improvements
- Get metadata from search.cpan.org before fetching tarballs, which makes commands like --info or --skip-installed much faster. #3, #8, #9
- Added --mirror option where you can specify the mirror base URL
- Added --prompt option that asks users to skip, force install, retry or look when test fails #23
- When one of the dependencies fail to install, cpanm bails out the installation of source dist by default. --prompt will ask if you want to install anyway
- Added a man page for cpanm
Developer Fixes
- Do not display 'Already tried...' message by default
- Set non-zero exit code if one or more modules failed to build
