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

135 1.007000 - 2010-12-09

148 1.006007 - 2010-08-12

151 - Documented one method in all languages
153 1.006006 - 2010-08-12
155 - Added portuguese translation
156 - Several minor fixes in the documentation

183 1.006000 - 2010-03-31

194 1.005000 - 2010-03-10
196 - More robust handling of running new toolchains on older perls. This
197 should sort out issues users have with bootstrapping on e.g. Solaris
198 and other traditional Unices. In addition, try to find a GNU tar
199 capable of dealing with @LongLink so bootstrapping doesn't fail.
201 - Warnings for missing PATH/PERL5LIB (as when not running interactively)
202 silenced by a patch from Marco Emilio Poleggi.
204 - Start of better docs for C<--self-contained> thanks to
207 1.004009 - 2009-11-07
209 - Fix warning if your $ENV{PERL5LIB} is undef
211 - Doc improvement from kgish/#perl-help@irc.perl.org
213 - t0m and chrisa on #local-lib@irc.perl.org pointed out a PERL5LIB ordering issue
214 with C<--self-contained>.

218 - Clarify re-reading the shell config file after writing to it.
220 - Clarify copyright and licensing for packaging by vendors.
222 1.004007 - 2009-09-02
224 - Ensure that $ENV{PERL5LIB} and @INC are always de-duped, stopping
225 them from growing if local::lib is invoked multiple times for the
228 - Doc improvements by kurisuto@irc.perl.org/#catalyst.
230 - Cleaned up indentation of code lines in the POD. Everything should be
233 1.004006 - 2009-08-25
234 - Fix parsing of --self-contained and local lib directory. It's now
235 possible to specify flags and the directory in any order. Also made
236 adding future flags easier in the future. Thanks to
237 frew@irc.perl.org/#catalyst for pointing out that --self-contained
238 wouldn't work without a directory.
240 1.004005 - 2009-08-23
241 - Add the --no-manpages option to bootstraping to tell EUMM / MB to not
242 generate manpages from POD. Thanks to RKITOVER for providing the
243 necessary values for CPAN.pm's configuration.
245 1.004004 - 2009-08-05
247 - Add dependency on Extutils::Install 1.43 and install in --bootstrap

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

273 respects it. (confound)
275 1.004001 - 2009-05-21
276 - Clean up CPAN.pm's environment variable the same way we do for
277 CPANPLUS. Add an example program showing local::lib employed
278 programmatically (confound).
280 - Add the beginnings of a troubleshooting section (pattern).
282 1.004000 - 2009-05-14
283 - Don't allow dangerous settings for CPAN.pm that affect where CPAN
284 installs stuff, as this conflicts with what we're trying to do.
286 - Make sure that our Makefile is written to the correct directory when
287 bootstrapping (confound).
289 1.003004 - 2009-05-12
290 - Additional documentation and examples concerning having multiple
291 local::lib enviornments (amiri)
293 - Some install tests courtesy of Hans Dieter Pearcey <hdp@cpan.org>.
296 1.003003 - 2009-04-09
297 - Expose the internals per RT #36846.
298 - Fix the MANIFEST up a bit.
300 1.003002 - 2009-02-25

302 clarifies how to specify a directory other than ~/perl5.
304 1.003001 - 2009-01-14
305 - Properly bail if given fancy dashes obtained by copy-pasting from a
306 UTF8-happy POD formatter. This will bail in both the Makefile.PL and
307 in local::lib::import().
309 1.003000 - 2009-01-13
310 - Add the --self-contained flag from Mark Stosberg, which also contains
311 a doc patch warning about the dangers of UNINST=1. Thanks, Mark!
313 1.002000 - 2008-08-06
314 - make CPAN config reinit non-prompting but still robust
315 - make bootstrap auto-init CPAN config and set USE_DEFAULT for deps
317 1.001000 - 2007-09-19
318 - refactored shell command generation
319 - implemented C shell command generation based on this (checks $SHELL}
321 - modified Makefile.PL to install an up-to-date CPAN.pm if needed
323 1.000000 - 2007-09-13
