Changes for version 1.000002 - 2026-05-09
- Cap App::cpm at 0.997017 on Perl < 5.24 via DynamicPrereqs, since App::cpm v0.999.0+ raised its minimum to 5.24 and otherwise won't install on older Perls. 0.997017 is the last pre-v1.0 release that both installs on older Perls and drives App::cpm's static install path correctly (GH#36)
- Extend the GitHub Actions test matrix down to Perl 5.20 to validate the App::cpm cap, and inject the same cap into cpanfile in the workflow ([DynamicPrereqs] only writes Makefile.PL, not cpanfile, so install-with-cpm needs the gate appended at CI time)
- Pin install-with-cpm's bootstrap App::cpm to 0.997017 on Perl 5.20 and 5.22, since the action's default builds cpm from skaji/cpm main (App::cpm v1.0+) which itself requires Perl 5.24
- Skip t/local-install-via-args.t when App::cpm is in the broken 0.998000–0.999.x range — those releases' static-install code path dies with "Invalid option linkage for install_base=s" on the test's x_static_install fixture (verified on Perl 5.42; not Perl-version specific). v1.0.0+ fixed the bug, and our cap pins Perl < 5.24 to 0.997017, so this skip is a runtime safety net for smokers with a broken cpm pre-installed
- Document t/local-install-via-args.t with detailed comments explaining the test's purpose, fixture, resolver choices and per-arg rationale, and emit Perl + App::cpm versions on failure to make CPAN testers reports easier to triage (GH#36)
- Fix stale "Acme::CPANAuthors::Canadian" comment in t/local-install-via-args.t — the test installs Local::StaticInstall
