+ - Adjusted for Perl core. Synced into bleadperl.
+
+5.53_01 Fri Mar 29 00:13:02 EST 2002
+ [[ Bug Fixes ]]
+ - Removed duplicate NAME macro definition
+ - Fixed makemakerdflt target for VMS
+ * bleadperl@11460 introduced a bug with recursive Makefile.PL's not
+ having '.' in @INC. PDL should build now.
+ * MANIFEST.SKIP only working on file names, not full relative paths.
+ Only since 5.51_01 (RT 413)

+5.52_01 Tue Mar 26 00:24:26 EST 2002
+ [[ Bug Fixes ]]
+ * ActivePerl 5.6.1/build 631 now 100%
+ - Fixed some SelfLoader warnings
+ * ExtUtils::MM_Win32 not subclassed off of ExtUtils::MM_Any properly
+ - Bug in local $ENV{FOO} was causing failures in MM_Win32 tests.
+ Compensating for the bug.
+ - $Config{prefixexp} is sometimes bad on ActivePerl, compensating
+ - Accidentally left htmlifypods tests in MM_Win32 tests
+
+ [[ Doc Changes ]]
+ - Expanding Known Good list
+ - Adding Known Programs to README
+
+5.51_01 Mon Mar 18 01:37:02 EST 2002
+ [[ API Changes ]]
+ - Removing xsubpp and typemap from the distribution. These are not
+ Perl version independent files and should not be upgraded.
+ - Removing ExtUtils::Embed. Version specific module and should
+ not be updated.
+ - Removing ExtUtils::Constant. Not directly tied to MakeMaker.
+ Will be distributed seperately by Nick Clark.
+
+ [[ New Features ]]
+ * realclean now deletes 'dist' directory.
+
+ [[ Bug Fixes ]]
+ * Fixing ExtUtils::Installed for VMS
+ * Fixed it so MakeMaker can build itself without needing an eariler
+ version installed
+ * Fixed ExtUtils::Installed so packlists work on VMS
+ * ExtUtils::MM_VMS test had a stupid typo that prevented most
+ of the tests from running.
+ - Fixing VMS so 'mmk' is always 'mmk all' (bleadperl 15218)
+ - ExtUtils::MM_Any->catfile was calling catdir
+ - Added Ken William's "speed up ExtUtils::Manifest" patch.
+ - Added Nick Clark's return value of manifest routines patch
+ (bleadperl@14978)
+ - Merging in bleadperl changes (14438, 14453, 14611, 14612, 14622,
+ 14655, 14677, 14688, 14902, 15023, 15187, 15367)
+ - bleadperl change 15325 (VMS 'mmk all' hack) rejected.
+ - ExtUtils::MM_Any->test_via_harness() now using -MExtUtils::testlib
+ instead of -I's. This keeps the command line shorter on VMS, but
+ it means TEST_LIB doesn't work anymore. May prove problematic.
+ - PERLRUN now uses FULLPERL instead of PERL. This avoids
+ accidental use of miniperl. May cause problems in the core.
+ - Fixed test_via_harness() on VMS so it uses PERLRUN.
+ - ExtUtils::Manifest wrongly handling MANIFEST on VMS.
+ - ExtUtils::Manifest::maniskip broken due to misuse of /o on a regex.
+
+5.50_01 Mon Mar 4 23:44:48 EST 2002
+ [[ API Changes ]]
+ htmlifypods and all HTML targets have been removed. It didn't
+ work properly. A target for HTMLifying of docs will be
+ added sometime in the future (read: send a patch).
+ - Deprecated ROOTEXT variable removed (its been deprecated for
+ more than five years).
+ - Removed ExtUtils::Miniperl from the CPAN distribution. Can't
+ see how its useful outside the core.
+
+ [[ New Features ]]
+ * Emacs backup files (ie. *~) are no longer copied into blib
+ (this means you won't get Foo.pm~ accidentally installed anymore).
+ - prefixify() now returns if the prefixification worked or not.
+ - added the Perl patchlevel info to the description embedded in DLLs
+ (Ilya Zakharevich perl change 14810)
+
+ [[ Bug Fixes ]]
+ * 5.49_01 broke anything that depended on the MM class to be loaded
+ with ExtUtils::MakeMaker, like CPAN. Temporarily fixed.
+ * Many places wrongfully assume MM methods can be called as class
+ methods! Inside and outside of MakeMaker.
+ * DOS now acts like Win32 instead of Unix. This should be less wrong.
+ - Netware tweak from Ananth Kesari (perl change 14780)
+
+ [[ Doc Changes ]]
+ * made the docs about the behavior of PREFIX a bit more vague
+ reflecting its odd behavior.
+ - Replaced references to %Config with things people are more likely
+ to understand in PREFIX & LIB docs.
+ - Put PREFIX before LIB in the docs.
+
+ [[ Internal Refactorings ]]
+ - File::Spec wrappers consolidated in MM_Any
+ - test_via_harness/script consolidated in MM_Any
+ * Added ExtUtils::Command::MM to replace large -e "one-liners"
+ * Added ExtUtils::MM_UWIN, took UWIN specific code out of MM_Unix.
+ * Added ExtUtils::MM_DOS, took some DOS specific code out of MM_Unix
+ - Added a dist() override to MM_OS2.
+ - Took the OS/2 specific code out of MM_Unix's dist()
+ - Starting to quote as many command line switches as possible
+ to make VMS have to override less of MM_Unix.
+
+5.49_01 Mon Feb 4 00:42:40 EST 2002
+ - Default TEST_LIBS now contains absolute paths, so tests can
+ chdir without breaking @INC.
+ - Some bug fixes in MM_Win32 were missing in MM_NW5.
+ - LLIBPERL was not being set.
+ - Gisle Aas fixed a warning in prompt when the user hits ctrl-D
+ or pipes STDIN to /dev/null.
+ - VMS's test is now a proper ->can check.
+ - Stray newline in Command.t causing havoc (bleadperl 14441)
+
+ * Lots of internal changes. Everything from here on is an internal
+ change.
+ - Broke ExtUtils::Liblist::Kid out into its own .pm. Temporary.
+ - Broke MM and MY out into their own .pm's. Possibly temporary.
+ - Broke ExtUtils::MM_Win95 out of ExtUtils::MM_Win32. MM_Win95
+ is now an MM_Win32 subclass.
+ - Removed wrapper methods from ExtUtils::Liblist that were
+ defering File::Spec loading. Almost everything uses File::Spec
+ - Changed most of the 'our's to 'use vars' in prep for 5.005_03
+ backporting
+ - Changed ExtUtils::MakeMaker->import(...) cargo-cultery in MM_*
+ modules to proper "use ExtUtils::MakeMaker qw(...)"
+ - All non-Unix MM_* modules now directly inherit from MM_Unix.
+ They did this before, but in a round-about way.
+ - MM_* modules no longer directly muck with @MM::ISA. Instead
+ @MM::ISA does that itself.
+ - Removed unnecessary require of Exporter in many MM_* modules.
+ - MM_Cygwin was using an MM_Unix function directly without have
+ explicitly required MM_Unix.
+ - Most of MM_NW5 was redundant with MM_Win32. So MM_NW5 is now
+ a subclass of Win32 and the reduendant code has been deleted.
+ - Replaced lots of calls to File::Spec->updir, curdir and rootdir
+ with a global in MM_Unix. Should make things a bit faster.
+ - Untabified ExtUtils::MakeMaker. I hate tabs.
+ - "Which MM subclass should I use" logic moved from EU::MakeMaker
+ to EU::MM.
+ - Deprecated EU::MakeMaker::Version_check deleted.
+
+5.48_04 Mon Jan 21 19:28:38 EST 2002
+ - No longer requiring Test::More
+ - Now tested to work with a clean 5.6.1
+ - Stripped out $Revision: 1.27 $ based $VERSIONs.
+ - Rolled in patches from p5p, vmsperl & VOS (14325, 14338, 14360, 14364)
+ * hint files now run in a safer context. Only $self is available.
+ - ExtUtils::testlib now provides absolute paths into @INC.
+ No longer obsolete
+ - Little test fixes

5.48_03 Thu Jan 17 23:44:38 EST 2002
* moved bin/inst to bin/instmodsh
* Some Win32 backporting fixes. The -x switch doesn't seem to
