Module-Build 0.2807

on Perl CPAN

Upgraded to version.pm 0.71. [John Peacock]

Removed a couple small constructs in the tests ("use warnings;" and
"qw$foo bar$[1]") that caused test failures under perl 5.005.

Added support for an explicit default value of undef in prompt().
[Eric Wilhelm]

Improved our prompt() method, which could sometimes hang before the
user got a chance to see a prompt. [Andreas Koenig]

Added a note about --allow_mb_mismatch to the error message that
happens right before someone might want to use that parameter.

Added DragonflyBSD to the list of known Unix OSes.

get_action_docs() dies on error rather than twiddling $@

Made ModuleInfo's _evaluate_version_line() compatible with 'use
version ...$VERSION' lines. [Eric Wilhelm]

Added some verbiage in Module::Build::API that officially blesses
the _build/prereqs file for external consumption. [Suggested by Andreas Koenig]

Added test profiles support via the test_types property and "testall"
target. [Eric Wilhelm, Jeff Lavallee]

Use syscopy() on OS/2 in copy_if_modified() so we make sure to
overwrite any existing target file. [Ilya Zakharevich]

Removed seemingly silly '~~' test in t/tilde.t.

In our test-time utility library t/lib/MBTest.pm, we need to know
about a few .exe-like extensions on OS/2. [Ilya Zakharevich]

In t/ppm.t, use DynaLoader::mod2fname() (if available) to determine
the correct translation of our test module's name into a DLL
name. [Ilya Zakharevich]

Avoid an unlink() error on OS/2 when fixing shebang lines. [Ilya
Zakharevich]

When we're protecting the world from the evils of long RedHat
$ENV{PERL5LIB} variables, don't assume $ENV{PERL5LIB} is already
defined. This gets rid of a huge number of warnings for some
people. [Dave Rolsky]
