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.
