Changes for version 0.195

  • fix further bugs where sometimes a regex search for distributions and/or modules, followed by a distribution search for a specific distribution, didn't properly populate the CONTAINSMODS field
  • add CPAN::Shell->reload('index') in the t/05meta.t test to ensure the database is created, and test that it has non-zero size
  • fix bug where sometimes a regex module search, followed by a distribution search for a specific distribution, didn't properly set the abstract and version fields
  • fix bug in t/05meta_*.t tests so as to correctly compare modules in a distribution.
  • honour $Config::CPAN->{index_expire} to decide when to update the database
  • improved error checking for the exisitence of the database, including also a check on the size, if it exists, when deciding whether to update or create the database.
