+6.22
+ - Minor potential glitch in the version check logic.
+ - Making Makefile rebuild logic more resistant to inconsequential
+ errors when cleaning up things that are going to be rebuilt anyway.
+ - Adding SCCS to the list of directories in MANIFEST.SKIP.
+ - Fixing blibdirs so it doesn't rebuild every make run.
+ - Using a more conservative MAX_EXEC_LEN for Win98 to allow building
+ large modules like Encode. [Greg Matheson]
+ - test target mangled by dmake. Doesn't seem to like q{}.
+ [Greg Matheson]
+ - instmodsh now using Archive::Tar to create archives if available.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - instmodsh now using more portable tar flags to create archives.
+ [Slaven Rezic]
+ - Added FAQ entry for "How do I use a module without installing it?"
+ and "How do I keep from installing man pages?" [Joe Cromie]
+
+6.21 Tue Nov 11 00:12:56 PST 2003
+ - NetBSD was looking in INSTALLARCHLIB/CORE for libperl instead of
+ PERL_ARCHLIB/CORE. Would cause problems if INSTALLARCHLIB was changed
+ (ie. LIB or PREFIX used). [Jochen Eisinger]
+ - Turns out a handful of modules use dir_target(). Restored a version
+ for backwards compatibility.
+ - Moved blibdirs target from top_targets() to its own section. Lots of
+ modules rewrite top_targets() so blibdirs wouldn't be written.
+
+6.20 Thu Nov 6 02:25:58 PST 2003
+ - Fixing dos2unix on Cygwin. In-place editing doesn't work 100% so we
+ take a more conservative approach.
+ - Small postamble.t test temp file cleanup fix for Cygwin and Windows.
+ - Small Command.t test fix for 5.5.3. No real bug [rt 4290]
+ - Small Liblist fix for Cygwin and import libraries [Gerrit P. Haase]
+ - metafile error message slightly mangled. Bare $! mistake confusing
+ nmake [rt 4285 4301]
+
+6.19 Mon Nov 3 22:53:56 PST 2003
+ - Removed 00setup_dummy.t and zz_cleanup_dummy.t. Tests now setup and
+ teardown the dummy modules as needed.
+ - Little test glitch on systems without $Config{usevendorprefix} set
+ - INSTALL(SITE|VENDOR)MAN*DIR now fall back to $(INSTALLMAN*DIR)
+ instead of copying its value. This lets "perl Makefile.PL
+ INSTALLMAN1DIR=/some/man/man1" work like expected.
+
+6.18 Mon Nov 3 20:09:51 PST 2003
+ - parse_version() was blowing over $_ (Ilya Zakharevich)
+ - 5.6.2 has the same Cygwin shared lib name fix as 5.7.0. (Gerrit Haase)
+ * When $Config{install(site|vendor)man*dir} aren't set it will now
+ fall back to $Config{installman*dir}. Similar for
+ $Config{install(site|vendor)bin}. This preserves behavior for older
+ Perls.
+ * Eliminated the dependency on perl.h for pure-perl builds.
+ * Eliminated .exists files. Added blibdirs target using MKPATH instead.
+ - Removed now unused dir_target() method.
+ - Added a little documentation to instmodsh.
+ * Made sure PREFIX always has something in it. Module authors like to use
+ it when extending MakeMaker. Currently using one of
+ PERL/SITE/VENDORPREFIX based on the value of INSTALLDIRS.
+ * Added SIGN to generate module signatures with cpansign (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Slight tweaks to MAKEFILE_OLD and MAKE_APERL_FILE restoring a mistake
+ made around 6.06 to fix static builds on OS/2
+ - Added ExtUtils::Command::dos2unix()
+ * manicopy() would make the copied files read-only if 'cp' was used.
+ * Fixed prereq check for modules which are also keywords like if.pm and
+ open.pm (Autrijus Tang)
+ - Made ExtUtils::Command mv and cp return whether or not they succeeded.
+ * metafile_addtomanifest now mentions what its doing.
+ * metafile will not die if it can't write to META.yml, just emit a
+ warning. This lets 'make dist' continue with a read-only META.yml
+ - Small fix to identify UWIN on NT (Randy Sims)
+ * metafile will not touch the META.yml if it does not need to be changed
+ (Thanks to Tim Bunce for this idea)
+ * Fixed 'make uninstall' which looks like its been broken since last
+ November and nobody noticed.
+ - Fixing minor bug in VMS prefixification logic when PREFIX was not set
+ by the user.
+ - Fixing potential bug in prefixification for relative directories
+ * Documented UNINST=1
+
6.17 Sun Sep 14 20:52:45 PDT 2003
- Fixing LD so it can be set properly on Win32. (Orton Yves)
* Fixing the init_PERL() "tack $Config{exe_ext} onto $^X" logic so
