Changes for version 1.3701 - 2006-03-13
- Integrated patch from Randy Sims.
- 1. Fixes error during `perl Makefile.PL` because it MakeMaker can't find the NAME section describing DISTNAME (which has the 'ex-' prefix).
- 2. Win32API::File is recommended on MSWin32 && cygwin.
- 3. Under Perl5.005, ExtUtils::MM is not present in the version of MakeMaker included. I don't know what version first includes it. Needs research or better: eliminate need for it.
- 4. Test::More is bundled with the distro for its test suite. This would be needed on Perl5.005, for example. It was listed as a requirement, but the directory it's bundled in is not in @INC when prereqs are checked. I removed the prereq from Build.PL & Makefile.PL. Other options: 1) fixup @INC to include t/lib; or 2) unbundle and add back to prereqs.
- 4. Update t/pod.t t/pod-coverage fixup of @INC so it can find bundled Test::More.
- Fixed pod/coverage related issues.
- When trying to schedule a delete at reboot after renaming a dll out of the way no error occurs if Win32API::File isn't available. Instead it merely warns that the file should be hand deleted.
- Fixed install at reboot behaviour by making sure the temporar file is writable after install (normally files installed are readonly)
