String eval is often used for dynamic code generation. For instance,
Moose uses it heavily, to generate inlined versions of accessors
and constructors, which speeds code up at runtime by a significant
amount. String eval is not without its issues however - it's
difficult to control the scope it's used in (which determines which
variables are in scope inside the eval), and it can be quite slow,
especially if doing a large number of evals.
This module attempts to solve both of those problems. It provides
an eval_closure function, which evals a string in a clean environment,
other than a fixed list of specified variables. It also caches the
result of the eval, so that doing repeated evals of the same source,
even with a different environment, will be much faster (but note
that the description is part of the string to be evaled, so it must
also be the same (or non-existent) if caching is to work properly).
Release 8.13 16-Aug-2011
------------------------
This is mainly a bug-fix release. There has been a lot of internal refactoring.
The Unicode tables have been updated. The only new feature in the library is
the passing of *MARK information to callouts. Some additions have been made to
pcretest to make testing easier and more comprehensive. There is a new option
for pcregrep to adjust its internal buffer size.
fork(2) calls slow down as the parent process uses more memory due to
the need to copy page tables. In many common uses of fork(), where it
is followed by one of the exec family of functions to spawn child
processes (Kernel#system, IO::popen, Process::spawn, etc.), it's
possible to remove this overhead by using the use of special process
spawning interfaces (posix_spawn(), vfork(), etc.)
The posix-spawn library aims to implement a subset of the Ruby 1.9
Process::spawn interface in a way that takes advantage of fast process
spawning interfaces when available and provides sane fallbacks on
systems that do not.
Major changes include:
The address bar now highlights the domain of the website you're visiting
Streamlined the look of the site identity block
Added support for the latest draft version of WebSockets with a prefixed API
Added support for EventSource / server-sent events
Added support for window.matchMedia
Added Scratchpad, an interactive JavaScript prototyping environment
Added a new Web Developer menu item and moved development-related items into it
Improved usability of the Web Console
Improved the discoverability of Firefox Sync
Reduced browser startup time when using Panorama
Fixed several stability issues
Fixed several security issues
[0.21]
- When using the tie() fallback ensure we do not obliterate a
foreign tie()
- Better document how to disable the tie() fallback
[0.20_01] (the "mst made me do it" release)
- Only invoke the deleted sub stashing if we run udner a debugger
(avoid runtime penalty of Sub::Name/Sub::Identify)
- Spellfixes (RT#54388)
- When B::Hooks::EndOfScope is not available, switch to a simple
tie() of %^H. While it can not 100% replace B::H::EOS, it does
everything n::c needs
[0.20]
- Bump Package::Stash dependency to 0.22 to pull in a bugfix in
Package::Stash::XS 0.19.
[0.19]
- Port to the new Package::Stash 0.18 API and depend on it.
- Don't rely on package::stash's remove_package_symbol implementation
(doy).
2.3.14:
Security fix with Ruby 1.8.x not affected Ruby 1.9.x:
Ruby on Rails has provided a high performance replacement for
ERB::Util.h since version 2.0.0. Due to a bug in the Ruby 1.8 Regular
Expression code this replacement version will fail to escape certain
malformed unicode strings. This malformed output will then be
interpreted as HTML by some browsers on some operating systems.
Major changes in this release:
* Added sequential version numbering
* Added a optional configure script - the Makefile still works
for most systems.
* Improvements to the "annotate" algorithm: only search
primary ancestors and ignore branches.
* Update the "scrub" command to remove traces of login-groups
and subrepositories.
* Added the --type option to the "fossil tag find" command.
* In contexts where only a check-in makes sense, resolve
branch and tag names to checkins only, never events or other
artifacts.
* Improved display of file renames on a diff. A rebuild is
required to take full advantage of this change.
* Update the built-in SQLite to version 3.7.7.

[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Add support for Text-content-sha1 node property
- Don't create text or property blocks if they don't exist in
a dump. (Rocco Caputo)
- Add a digest() method to SVN::Dump::Text
(Inspired by a patch by Scott MacPhee, RT #56868)
- Add support for Text-content-sha1 / Text-copy-source-sha1
(RT #60207)
- New option check_digest that will, when reading a non-delta
dump, ensure that the content digest are valid
- Properly ignore blank lines between records (RT #25467, #28645)
2010 12 17
- added new flag -it=n or --iterations=n
This flag causes perltidy to do n complete iterations.
For most purposes the default of n=1 should be satisfactory. However n=2
can be useful when a major style change is being made, or when code is being
beautified on check-in to a source code control system. The run time will be
approximately proportional to n, and it should seldom be necessary to use a
value greater than n=2. Thanks to Jonathan Swartz
- A configuration file pathname begins with three dots, e.g.
".../.perltidyrc", indicates that the file should be searched for starting
in the current directory and working upwards. This makes it easier to have
multiple projects each with their own .perltidyrc in their root directories.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
- Added flag --notidy which disables all formatting and causes the input to be
copied unchanged. This can be useful in conjunction with hierarchical
F<.perltidyrc> files to prevent unwanted tidying.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch.
- Added prefilters and postfilters in the call to the Tidy.pm module.
Prefilters and postfilters. The prefilter is a code reference that
will be applied to the source before tidying, and the postfilter
is a code reference to the result before outputting.
Thanks to Jonathan Swartz for this patch. He writes:
This is useful for all manner of customizations. For example, I use
it to convert the 'method' keyword to 'sub' so that perltidy will work for
Method::Signature::Simple code:
Perl::Tidy::perltidy(
prefilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^method (.*)/sub $1 \#__METHOD/gm; return $_ },
postfilter => sub { $_ = $_[0]; s/^sub (.*?)\s* \#__METHOD/method $1/gm; return $_ }
);
- The starting indentation level of sections of code entabbed with -et=n
is correctly guessed if it was also produced with the same -et=n flag. This
keeps the indentation stable on repeated formatting passes within an editor.
Thanks to Sam Kington and Glenn.
- Functions with prototype '&' had a space between the function and opening
peren. This space now only occurs if the flag --space-function-paren (-sfp)
is set. Thanks to Zrajm Akfohg.
- Patch to never put spaces around a bare word in braces beginning with ^ as in:
my $before = ${^PREMATCH};
even if requested with the -bt=0 flag because any spaces cause a syntax error in perl.
Thanks to Fabrice Dulanoy.
1.28 Wed 2 Mar 2011
- The ->isa in the 5.10 operator and magic variable tests were
back the front, breaking both. Fixed (ADAMK)
- Magic variable rules now check using ->symbol method instead of
->content so that $+{foo} are correctly treated like %+ (ADAMK)
- Removed -w from tests to allow testing with Tainting on (ADAMK)
1.27 Sat 26 Feb 2011
- Updating to Module::Install::DSL 1.00
- Updating copyright year
- Fix detection of binary numbers (Alexandr Ciornii)

[1.116] Released on 2011-05-15
Policy Changes:
* BuiltInFunctions::ProhibitLvalueSubstr does not report violations
if the document contains an explicit 'use n.nnn;' where the
version is before 5.005. RT #59112
* Documentation::RequirePodSections no longer blows up on code
having POD but no =head1. This problem was introduced with RT
#59268. RT #67231
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture should more reliably
find things like s/(a)/${1}2/. RT #67273.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers and
Module::RequireVersionVar now treat versions passed as the second
argument of a 'package' statement the same as versions declared as
'our $VERSION ...'. RT #67159
* Variables::RequireLexicalLoopIterators does not report violations
if the document contains an explicit 'use n.nnn;' where the
version is before 5.004. RT #67760
[1.115] Released on 2011-03-31
Minor bits:
* Fatal error in RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture here
document check. RT #67116.
* Internal POD error in Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText. Patch
by Salvatore Bonaccorso. RT #67012
[1.114] Released on 2011-03-26
Policy Changes:
* Documentation::RequirePodLinksIncludeText now handles nested POD
formatting. RT #65569
* Clarified relation of severity numbers to names in Perl::Critic
POD. RT #66017
* Removed caveats from Variables::RequireLocalizedPunctuationVars,
no longer necessary with PPI 1.208. RT #65514
* Have InputOutput::RequireBriefOpen attempt to expand scope as
necessary to deal with the case where the open() and the
corresponding close() are not in the same scope. RT #64437
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now looks inside
double-quotish things. RT #38942.
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now takes logical
alternation into account, so that (e.g.)
if ( /(a)/ || /(b)/ ) {
say $1;
}
is not a violation. RT #38942.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements now
recognizes 'return { foo => 1, bar => 2 }' as containing a hash
constructor, not a block. This was fixed by PPI 1.215. RT #61301.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitCommaSeparatedStatements now
recognizes 'bless { foo => 1, bar => 2 }' as containing a hash
constructor, not a block. This was fixed by PPI 1.215. RT #64132.
[1.113] Released on 2011-02-14
New Policies:
* InputOutput::RequireEncodingWithUTF8Layer recommends
':encoding(utf8)' over ':utf8' in open() and binmode(). It is severity 5
because of the bad things that can happen if invalid UTF8 gets loose in
your code.
* Modules::ProhibitConditionalUseStatements prohibits
'use module' inside a conditional, since the statement is executed
unconditionally at compile time. Thanks to Peter Guzis for submitting
the policy and tests in RT #59065.
Policy Changes:
* CodeLayout::RequireConsistentNewlines produces multiple undefined
value errors when a violation is found. RT #65663
* ControlStructures::ProhibitMutatingListFunctions allows s///r,
which was introduced in 5.13.2.
* ControlStructures::ProhibitPostfixControls now looks for "when". It is
treated in the same way as "if".
* Documentation::RequirePodSections now honors '## no critic'
annotation anywhere before the '__END__', '__DATA__', or first
'=head1', whichever comes first. The line number of the offending
'=head1 NAME' was added to the violation description. RT #59268.
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now takes account of the
use of $- and $+ (and their English equivalents under 'use
English') provided the subscripts are literal integers.
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now takes account of the
use of capture variables in the replacement portion of
s/.../.../e.
* Subroutines::ProhibitUnusedPrivateSubroutines now looks inside
regular expressions.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers now supports Const::Fast.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMagicNumbers now has a
constant_creator_subroutines parameter to allow the user to
configure the names of subroutines that create constants. RT #62562.
* ValuesAndExpressions::ProhibitMismatchedOperators didn't handle file
test operators properly. Patch by H.Merijn Brand. RT #58751
* Variables::ProhibitUnusedVariables now looks inside regular
expressions.
* ValuesAndExpressions::RequireInterpolationOfMetachars now detects
and complains about "\b" and "\l" as documented in perlop, and
"\1" through "\7", which are not documented there, but were found
in toke.c.
New Developer Features:
* uses_module(), namespaces(), and subdocuments_for_namespace() methods on
Perl::Critic::Document.
* Perl::Critic::Document->new() now accepts a -filename-override argument
for setting the filename when the source code comes from something
other than an actual file.
Other Changes:
* Test::Perl::Critic::Policy no longer exports by default.
* Build phase now requires Test::Deep.
* Added example using Try::Tiny to documentation of
ErrorHandling::RequireCheckingReturnValueOfEval. Suggested by Andy
Lester on the developers mailing list.
* In order to get more consistent behavior across all installations of
Perl::Critic, IPC::Open2 (which actually is part of core), PPIx::Regexp,
Perl::Tidy, Pod::Spell, and Text::ParseWords are no longer optional
prerequisites.
* Now depends upon PPIx::Utilities v1.1.0.
Bug Fixes:
* Build.PL/Makefile.PL didn't specify a minimum version of version.pm, but
TestingAndDebugging::RequireUseStrict did. RT #58952
* Perl::Critic::Annotation needs to look inside the __END__ statement to
find the true end of the document, otherwise POD policies may give false
positives. RT #59176
* BuiltinFunctions::ProhibitStringyEval no longer dies on eval
"#...". RT #60179
* RegularExpressions::ProhibitUnusedCapture now takes account of the
%LAST_PAREN_MATCH as well as %+ if English has been loaded. RT #60002
* Subroutines::ProhibitManyArgs now interprets prototype groups (e.g.
\[$@%]) as representing a single argument.
* Require Exporter version 5.63 (versus version 0) to get sane handling of
export tags. RT# 61071
* Prevent Subroutines::ProhibitUnusedPrivateSubroutines from failing
on &_subroutine(). RT #61311
* Subroutines::ProhibitAmpersandSigils now allows references of the
form \( &sub1, &sub2 ). RT #49609

[1.110_001] Released on 2010-11-30
Changes summarized into 1.113 above. For exact details, see Changes on
BackPAN. (Yes, all of this stuff was not in 1.111.)
0.021 T. R. Wyant 22-Jul-2011
Modified tokenizer to correctly handle a back slash used as a
delimiter. I believe.
PPIx::Regexp::Dumper now dumps the results of ppi() if that method is
present and -verbose is asserted.
0.020 T. R. Wyant 02-Apr-2011
Corrected perl_version_introduced():
\R is now 5.009005 (was 5.000).
0.019 T. R. Wyant 01-Mar-2011
Various corrections to perl_version_introduced():
\X is now 5.006 (was 5.000);
\N{name} is now 5.006001 (was 5.006);
\N{U+xxxx} is now 5.008 (was 5.006).
The \C is now parsed as a PPIx::Regexp::Token::CharClass::Simple. It
was previously considered a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal.
Ensure that \N{$foo} parses as a Unicode literal, not a quantified \N.
The ordinal() method returns undef for this.
Understand the /aa modifier, introduced with 5.13.10.
Report perl_version_introduced() of 5.013010 for the new semantic
modifiers when modifying the entire expression.
Correct handling of interpolations like ${^foo} and $#{foo}.
0.018 T. R. Wyant 16-Feb-2011
No changes (other than version) since 0.017_02.
0.017_02 T. R. Wyant 31-Jan-2011
Override ppi() in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Interpolation to provide the
proper PPI when variable names are bracketed.
Properly parse bracketed variable names (I hope!), which may not be
subscripted.
0.017_01 T. R. Wyant 28-Jan-2011
Take account of possible '$' or '@' casts before a symbol in an
interpolation (e.g. $$foo{bar}, which is equivalent to $foo->{bar}).
0.017 T. R. Wyant 26-Jan-2011
Add the /a modifier to PPI::Regexp::Token::Modifiers, legal only in
the (?:...) construction. This was introduced in Perl 5.13.9.
When parsing an interpolation from a replacement string (rather than a
regular expression), take subscripts at face value rather than
trying to disambiguate them from quantifiers and character classes,
which they can't be in this context.
0.016 T. R. Wyant 05-Jan-2011
The PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code perl_version_introduced() method now
returns the minimum Perl version (currently set to 5.000) if it is
used to represent the substitution portion of s///e.
Update copyright to 2011.
0.015 T. R. Wyant 25-Oct-2010
Documented intent to revoke support for features introduced in a
development Perl which do not make it to a production release. This
is necessary because in this case the syntax could be reused with
different semantics.
Added support for Perl 5.13.6 (?^...) construction.
Added support for Perl 5.13.6 d, l, and u modifiers.
Fixed inconsistency in perl_version_introduced() results between
PPIx::Regexp::Token::Modifier and
PPIx::Regexp::Token::GroupType::Modifier.
Corrected PPIx::Regexp::Constant RE_CAPTURE_NAME docs, somehow missed
back at 0.010_01.
0.014 T. R. Wyant 14-Oct-2010
Recognize \o{...} as a PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal, with
perl_version_introduced() of 5.0013003.
Terminate \0.. through \7.. after three characters, as Perl does.
These two were brought to my attention by Brian D. Foy's "The
Effective Perler" for October 11 2010,
http://www.effectiveperlprogramming.com/blog/697
Correct the PPIx::Regexp::Token::Literal ordinal() method for '\b'. As
a literal, this is a back space.
0.013 T. R. Wyant 10-Oct-2010
Declare a parse failure if characters are found between the '}' and
the ')' of (?{...}) and (??{...}), and rebless the tokens to
::Unknown. Perl does not accept anything here, so I think I should
not either.
Whitespace tweak in the PPIx::Regexp::Dumper test output for the
failures test.
Replace the PPI logic in PPIx::Regexp::Token::Code with a call to
$tokenizer->find_matching_delimiter(). This is actually the way Perl
works, as a look at toke.c and regcomp.c makes clear.
Push the perl_version_introduced() back to 5.0 at the request of
Alexandr Ciornii, for the potential benefit of Perl::MinimumVersion.
This was done mostly by reading the various perlre, perldelta, and
perlop documents, so these should be taken with a HUGE grain of
salt.
0.012 T. R. Wyant 26-Sep-2010
Track all the features reported as introduced (or removed) in Perl
5.010 back to Perl 5.009005, and report them as such.
Report modifier /r as having been introduced in Perl 5.013002, rather
than the default of 5.006.

[BUG FIXES]
- Fix failing tests on systems without
Test::Reporter::Transport::Metabase
- Minor test cleanups for use with 'prove'
Software distributions released to the CPAN include a META.json
or, for older distributions, META.yml, which describes the
distribution, its contents, and the requirements for building and
installing the distribution. The data structure stored in the
META.json file is described in CPAN::Meta::Spec.
CPAN::Meta provides a simple class to represent this distribution
metadata (or distmeta), along with some helpful methods for
interrogating that data.
0.28:
- fixes for cpantester
- Fix 'switch' and 'use' for bash users, by Woody2143++
- The standalone `perlbrew` file is now packed with fatpacker, by running `dev-bin/build.sh`. `perl Makefile.PL` does no trigger a re-build anymore.
- Update the installer to grab patchperl 0.46
This is a declarative specification-style testing system for
behavior-driven development (BDD) in Perl. The tests (a.k.a.
examples) are named with strings instead of subroutine names, so
your fingers will suffer less fatigue from underscore-itis, with
the side benefit that the test reports are more legible.

This is a backend for p5-Package-Stash, which provides the
functionality in a way that's less buggy and much faster. It will
be used by default if it's installed, and should be preferred in
all environments with a compiler.
One shortcoming of the CPAN clients that currently exist is that
they have no way of specifying conflicting downstream dependencies
of modules. This module attempts to work around this issue by
allowing you to specify conflicting versions of modules separately,
and deal with them after the module is done installing.
This modules is primarily (but not exclusively) for use in test
scripts: A block eval on steroids, configurable and extensible,
but by default trapping (Perl) STDOUT, STDERR, warnings, exceptions,
would-be exit codes, and return values from boxed blocks of test
code.
The values collected by the latest trap can then be queried or
tested through a special trap object.
Devel::PatchPerl is a modularisation of the patching code contained
in Devel::PPPort's buildperl.pl. It does not build perls, it merely
provides an interface to the source patching functionality.
1.01 Wed 27 Apr 2011
- Better error message in install_share (CHORNY)
- Compatibility with MYMETA.yml support in EUMM (CHORNY)
- Support for extraction of Artistic 2.0 license (CHORNY)
- Support https links when searching for bug trackers (CHORNY)
Test::Fatal is an alternative to the popular Test::Exception. It
does much less, but should allow greater flexibility in testing
exception-throwing code with about the same amount of typing.

Catch up to bundled version in perl-5.14.1, and let not to depend on
external (too new, and troubled) modules with perl-5.14.1.
Revision history for Perl extension Module::Build.
0.3800 - Sat Mar 5 15:11:41 EST 2011
Summary of major changes since 0.3624:
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
Also in this release:
[BUG FIXES]
- Autogenerated documentation no longer includes private actions from
Module::Build's own release subclass. [Report by Timothy Appnel,
fix by David Golden]
0.37_06 - Mon Feb 28 21:43:31 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- prerequisites with the empty string instead of a version are
normalized to "0". (RT#65909)
[OTHER]
- More Pod typo/link fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_05 - Sat Feb 19 20:43:23 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- fixes failing ppm.t in perl core
[OTHER]
- Pod typo fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_04 - Wed Feb 16 15:27:21 EST 2011
[OTHER]
- moved scripts/ to bin/ for less confusing porting to bleadperl
0.37_03 - Wed Feb 16 09:54:05 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- removed an irrelevant test in t/actions/installdeps.t that was causing
failures on some Cygwin platforms
[OTHER]
- dropped configure_requires as some CPAN clients apparently get
confused by having things in both configure_requires and requires
- bumped Parse::CPAN::Meta build prereq to 1.4401
- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110420
- Pod typo fixes [Hongwen Qiu]
0.37_02 - Mon Feb 7 21:05:30 EST 2011
[BUG FIXES]
- bumped CPAN::Meta prereq to 2.110390 to avoid a regression in 2.110360
0.37_01 - Thu Feb 3 03:44:38 EST 2011
[ENHANCEMENTS]
- Generates META.json and MYMETA.json consistent with version 2 of the
CPAN Meta Spec. [David Golden]
[BUG FIXES]
- t/signature.t now uses a mocked Module::Signature; this should be
more robust across platforms as it only needs to confirm that
Module::Build is calling Module::Signature when expected
[OTHER]
- Added CPAN::Meta and Parse::CPAN::Meta to prerequisites and dropped
CPAN::Meta::YAML
0.3624 - Thu Jan 27 11:38:39 EST 2011
- Fixed pod2html directory bugs and fixed creation of spurious blib
directory in core perl directory when running install.t (RT#63003)
[Chris Williams]
0.3623 - Wed Jan 26 17:45:30 EST 2011
- Fixed bugs involving bootstrapping configure_requires prerequisites
on older CPANPLUS clients or for either CPAN/CPANPLUS when using
the compatibility Makefile.PL
- Added diagnostic output when configure_requires are missing for
the benefit of users doing manual installation
0.3622 - Mon Jan 24 21:06:50 EST 2011
- No changes from 0.36_21
0.36_21 - Fri Jan 21 11:01:28 EST 2011
- Changed YAML::Tiny references to the new CPAN::Meta::YAML module
instead, which is the YAML-variant that is going into the Perl core
0.36_20 - Fri Dec 10 15:36:03 EST 2010
*** DEPRECATIONS ***
- Module::Build::Version has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon version.pm. A pure-perl version has been bundled in inc/
solely for bootstrapping in case configure_requires is not supported.
M::B::Version remains as a wrapper around version.pm.
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo has been deprecated. Module::Build now
depends directly upon Module::Metadata (which is an extraction of
M::B::ModuleInfo intended for general reuse). A pure-perl version has
been bundled in inc/ solely for bootstrapping in case
configure_requires is not supported. M::B::ModuleInfo remains as a
wrapper around Module::Metadata.
- Module::Build::YAML has been deprecated. Module::Build now depends
directly upon YAML::Tiny. M::B::YAML remains as a subclass wrapper.
The YAML_support feature has been removed, as YAML is now an ordinary
dependency.
0.36_19 - Tue Dec 7 13:43:42 EST 2010
Bug fixes:
- Perl::OSType is declared as a 'configure_requires' dependency, but is
also bundled in inc (and loaded if needed) [David Golden]
0.36_18 - Mon Dec 6 16:46:49 EST 2010
Changes:
- Added dependency on Perl::OSType to refactor and centralize
management of OS type mapping [David Golden]
- When parsing a version number out of a file, any trailing alphabetical
characters will be dropped to avoid fatal errors when comparing version
numbers. These would have been dropped (with a warning) anyway during
an ordinary numeric comparison. (RT#56071) [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- A Perl interpreter mismatch between running Build.PL and running Build
is now a fatal error, not a warning (RT#55183) [David Golden]
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.86 [David Golden]
- No longer uses fake user 'foo' in t/tilde (RT#61793) [David Golden]
- Won't fail tests if an ancient Tie::IxHash is installed
[Christopher J. Madsen]
- Correctly report missing metafile field names [David Golden]
- Suppress uninitialized value errors during Pod creation
on ActiveState Perl [David Golden]
- Return to starting directory after install action; this is
an attempt to fix an install.t heisenbug (RT#63003) [David Golden]
- A broken version.pm load won't cause Module::Build::Version to
die trying to install itself as a mock version (RT#59499)
[Eric Wilhelm and David Golden]
- PERL_DL_NONLAZY is now always set when tests are run
(RT#56055) [Dmitry Karasik]
- 'fakeinstall' will use .modulebuildrc actions for 'install' if
no specific 'fakeinstall' options are provided (RT#57279)
[David Golden]
- Add install*script to search path for installdeps client
and search site, then vendor, then core paths
- Skip noexec tmpdir check on Windows (RT#55667) [Jan Dubois]
- Arguments with key value pairs may now have keys with "-" in them
(RT#53050) [David Golden]
- Add quotemeta to t/tilde.t test to fix Cygwin fails
[Chris Williams and David Golden]
- Build script now checks that M::B is at least the same version
of M::B as provided in 'configure_requires' in META
(RT#54954) [David Golden]
0.36_17 - Wed Oct 27 18:08:36 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Added 'distinstall' action to run 'Build install' inside the
generated distribution directory [Jeff Thalhammer]
0.36_16 - Thu Aug 26 12:44:07 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Better error message in case package declaration is not found
when searching for version. [Alexandr Ciornii]
- Skips 'release_status' tests on perl < 5.8.1 due to buggy
treatment of dotted-decimal version numbers [David Golden]
0.36_15 - Wed Aug 25 10:41:28 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Added a mock Software::License to prevent t/properties/license.t
from failing.
0.36_14 - Sun Aug 22 22:56:50 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Adds 'release_status' and 'dist_suffix' properties in preparation
for adding CPAN Meta Spec 2 support. 'dist_suffix' will be set
to 'TRIAL' automatically when necessary. [David Golden]
- Makes 'license' more liberal. You can now specify either a license
key from the approved list (c.f. Module::Build::API) or just a
Software::License subclass name (e.g. 'Perl_5'). This should
provide better support for custom or proprietary licenses.
[David Golden]
0.36_13 - Wed Jul 28 22:40:25 EDT 2010
Bug-fixes:
- Bundled Module::Build::Version updated to bring into sync with CPAN
version.pm 0.82 [David Golden]
0.36_12 - Tue Jul 27 00:08:51 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Module::Build::Compat will now convert dotted-decimal prereqs into
decimal rather than dying (and will warn about this). [Apocalypse]
Bug fixes:
- Caches case-sensitivity checks to boost performance, fixes
RT#55162 and RT#56513 [Reini Urban]
- Won't try to use ActivePerl doc generation tools without confirming
that they are indeed installed. [David Golden]
- Sets temporary $ENV{HOME} in testing to an absolute path, which fixes
some issues when tested as part of the Perl core [Nicholas Clark]
- Module::Build::ModuleInfo now warns instead of dying when a module
has an invalid version. ->version now just returns undef
(RT#59593) [David Golden]
Changes:
- When authors do not specify Module::Build in configure_requires and
Module::Build is automatically added, a warning will be issued
showing the added prerequisite [David Golden]
- Moved automatic configure_requires generation into get_metadata()
and added an 'auto' argument to toggle it (on for META and off
for MYMETA) [David Golden]
0.36_11 - Thu May 27 09:41:23 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Handle META/MYMETA reading and writing within Module::Build to ensure
utf8 mode on filehandles. Now passes/gets only strings to YAML::Tiny
or Module::Build::YAML
0.36_10 - Wed May 19 18:36:06 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Fix failing t/manifypods.t on Windows from 0.36_09 changes [Klaus
Eichner]
0.36_09 - Tue May 11 09:19:12 EDT 2010
Bug fixes:
- Improve HTML documentation generation on ActivePerl (RT#53478)
[Scott Renner and Klaus Eichner]
0.36_08 - Mon Apr 26 08:00:15 EDT 2010
Enhancements:
- Give a list of valid licenses when given one we don't recognize
(RT#55951) [Yanick Champoux]
- Added 'Build manifest_skip' action to generate a default MANIFEST.SKIP
[David Golden]
Changes:
- When temporarily generating a MANIFEST.SKIP when none exists, it will
be removed on exit instead of hanging around until 'Build clean'. This
is less surprising/confusing and the 'Build manifest_skip' action
is now available instead to bootstrap the file [David Golden]
Bug fixes:
- Fixed runtime error on cygwin when searching for an executable command
during installdeps testing [David Golden]
version 0.005; 2011-07-25
* bugfix: work around core bug [perl #73174] affecting Unicode swash
loading, and apply entire workaround arrangement to 5.11.{0..5}
where [perl #73174] exists but [perl #68590] does not
* correct dynamic_config setting to 0
* include META.json in distribution
* add MYMETA.json to .cvsignore
version 0.004; 2010-11-21
* bugfix: don't attempt to use XS version of the workaround on Win32,
where it can't work properly due to linker restriction on access to
core symbols
* only define PERL_CORE for compilation on Perl versions where the
bug workaround (and thus interference with core-private stuff)
is actually necessary
* in XS, use PERL_NO_GET_CONTEXT for efficiency
* in XS, declare "PROTOTYPES: DISABLE" to prevent automatic generation
of unintended prototypes
* in XS, provide a reserve definition of croak, so that the Perl_croak
circumlocution is avoided even with PERL_CORE defined
* in XS, give symbolic names to the Perl version thresholds
* jump through hoops to avoid compiler warnings
* use full stricture in test suite
* also test POD coverage of pure Perl implementation
* in t/setup_pp.pl, avoid a warning that occurs if XSLoader::load()
is given no arguments, which is now a valid usage
* in Build.PL, explicitly set needs_compiler to avoid bogus
auto-dependency on ExtUtils::CBuilder
* in Build.PL, complete declaration of configure-time requirements
* Various patches by Chorny at cpan dot org and fREW frioux at gmail dot com:
* Windows NTFS compatibility fixes.
* Allow PID to be negative.
* Lexically scope temp file handles to reduce changes of memory leak and
avoid unintentional glob clobberation.
* Security fix: 3 arg open().
* Repair test suites logics.
* Fixed infinite freezing on Strawberry Perl v5.10.0.
* Fixed infinite freezing on ActiveState Perl v5.12.1.
* Sorry for the past 8 years of suffering.
* Updating to Module::Install 1.01
* If Win32::GetFolderPath returns a \\UNC type path do not do the
normal -d sanity check, as strange and unusual bugs may occur.
