Module-Build 0.06

on Perl CPAN

Added the Module::Build::Compat module for assisting and
explaining compatibility with ExtUtils::Makemaker and cohorts.

State is now saved using Data::Dumper instead of my ad-hoc
mechanism, guaranteeing data integrity. Whitespace values broke
in the former scheme.

Added the 'recommended' option, which works like 'prereq' but
isn't insistent.

Separated the various parameters into three groups: parameters
that tell Module::Build what to do, Config.pm parameters, and
user-defined parameters for each build (the module author is the
'user' here). This helps avoid conflicts between names, and it
was silly to have them all together. The three groups of
parameters are subject to the same rules for overriding: values
specified during a Build action take precedence over values
specified at 'perl Build.PL' time, which in turn take precedence
over values specified in the call to new().

Improved support for .PL files. Any .PL file in the lib/
directory or the directory specified by 'c_source' will now get
properly executed. I also added a 'PL_files' parameter that you
can use in case the .PL doesn't create an obviously-named output
file.

If a prerequisite condition is malformed, we now report a prereq
failure and say why. Previously we issued a warning and kept
going.
