Revision history for local::lib
+ - Stop Makefile.PL exploding if your CPAN is too old to have
+ CPAN::HandleConfig. Needed when installing local::lib via CPAN
+ using an old CPAN version (t0m)
- Fix warning from Makefile.PL about ExtUtils::MakeMaker::prompt (t0m)
- Set PERL5LIB back to calculated @INC with --self-contained, to stop
invoking other perl scripts from losing the local::lib if they
requires 'ExtUtils::CBuilder'; # this and ParseXS are needed for MB C_support
requires 'ExtUtils::ParseXS';
