70 handle potential space issues (regression since 1.008012)
73 - fix undef value errors when not installing into a local::lib
76 - now handling using -Mlocal::lib in a taintperl environment, by
77 ensuring that all libs in PERL_LOCAL_LIB_ROOT are properly added to

131 1.007000 - 2010-12-09
132 - Chase the Module::Build version which supports PERL_MB_OPT. Thanks to

142 - Finally move to PERL_MB_OPT rather than using .modulebuildrc.
144 1.006007 - 2010-08-12
146 - Fixing stuff so that search.cpan.org displays right
147 - Documented one method in all languages
149 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
151 - Added portuguese translation
152 - Several minor fixes in the documentation
153 - Changed methods look in documentation

176 - doc patch for win32 from run4flat
177 - reverse the perl/arch paths in PERL5LIB
179 1.006000 - 2010-03-31

186 1.005001 - 2010-03-10
190 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
192 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
193 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
194 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
195 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
197 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
198 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
200 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
203 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
205 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
207 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
209 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
210 with C<--self-contained>.
212 1.004008 - 2009-10-13
214 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
216 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
218 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
220 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
221 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
224 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
226 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
229 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
230 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
231 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
232 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
233 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
234 wouldn't work without a directory.
236 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
237 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
238 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
239 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
241 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
243 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap
244 otherwise we fail to build with latest MakeMaker on OpenSolaris (t0m)
246 - Fix Win32 / Cygwin detection (emazep).
248 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
249 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
250 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
251 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
252 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
253 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
254 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
255 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
256 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
258 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
259 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
260 blessed entries. (grink)
261 - Include test in xt/ for the above
263 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
264 archlibexp when self contained.
265 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
266 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
267 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

269 respects it. (confound)
271 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
272 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
273 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
274 programmatically (confound).
276 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
278 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
279 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
280 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
282 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
283 bootstrapping (confound).
285 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
286 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
287 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
289 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
292 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
293 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
294 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
296 1.003002 - 2009-02-25
297 - Add a doc patch from Torsten Raudssus <torsten@raudssus.de> that
298 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
300 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
301 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
302 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
303 in local::lib::import().
305 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
306 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
307 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
309 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
310 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
311 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
313 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
314 - refactored shell command generation
315 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
317 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
319 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
