120 - The environment variables definition for the shell is now output in
121 a way that allows to put the generated content directly in the

164 - Documented one method in all languages
166 1.006006 - 2010-08-12

200 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
201 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
202 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
203 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
204 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)

206 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
209 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
210 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
211 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
212 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue

221 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
223 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
224 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
227 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
228 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
229 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
230 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
231 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
232 wouldn't work without a directory.
234 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
235 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not

239 1.004004 - 2009-08-05

244 1.004003 - 2009-16-16
245 - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
246 CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
247 using an old CPAN version (t0m)
248 - Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
249 - Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
250 invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
251 mangle @INC from $ENV{PERL5LIB}, and fix install of 'difficult'
252 modules with such as Test::Deep (t0m)
254 1.004002 - 2009-06-15
255 - Fixed up INC untaint procedure to skip/ignore CODE, ARRAY,
256 blessed entries. (grink)
257 - Include test in xt/ for the above
258 - Put PERL5LIB first, so it'll be favored over privlibexp and
259 archlibexp when self contained.
260 - Automatically untaint @INC (t0m)
261 - Prevent @INC from growing when you have multiple scripts using
262 --self-contained called from inside one another. (grink by way of t0m)

264 respects it. (confound)
266 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
267 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
268 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
269 programmatically (confound).
270 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
272 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
273 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
274 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
275 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
276 bootstrapping (confound).
278 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
279 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
280 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
281 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
284 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
285 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
286 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
288 1.003002 - 2009-02-25

290 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
292 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
293 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
294 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
295 in local::lib::import().
297 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
298 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
299 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
301 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
302 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
303 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
305 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
306 - refactored shell command generation
307 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}

311 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
