Revision history for Perl extension Argv.
0.01 Thu May 27 14:32:34 1999
- original version; created by h2xs 1.18
0.25 Tue Nov 2 22:42:50 EST 1999
- first CPAN release. NKNTW
0.26 Tue Nov 9 19:36:17 EST 1999
- Fix Windows autoquoting for paths ending in \
0.27 Thu Nov 11 09:37:06 EST 1999
- Fix Windows autoquoting again - turn embedded newlines back
into a literal "\n" so the &*@# cmd shell can turn it BACK.
0.28 Thu Nov 11 22:09:44 EST 1999
- Bugfix: if ->qx has options but no args

0.29 Sun Nov 14 12:55:37 EST 1999
- added Argv->count class method for metrics collection
0.30 Mon Nov 15 12:05:47 EST 1999
- Bugfix: change shell quoting on Unix to be closer to Win32
(quote embedded double-quotes, then double-quote the
entire word, rather than try to use single quotes on Unix
and the above on Windows).
0.32 Tue Nov 16 16:01:56 EST 1999
- Added an integration with IPC::ChildSafe. This
allows a user to request that commands be run

than doing a new fork/exec for each one.

- Lots of POD work.
- Implemented inheritance of attributes when constructor used
as an instance method.
- Renamed exported qxargv() to qv().
- Modified many methods to return the object in 'set' mode.
0.35 Wed Dec 8 23:22:54 EST 1999

- Renamed 'ipc' method to 'childsafe'.
- Renamed 'dfltopts' method to 'dfltsets'.

Getopt::Long::GetOptions().
0.40 Fri Dec 17 20:25:13 EST 1999

- Reformatted to 4-space indenting.
0.41 Wed Jan 5 12:31:18 EST 2000
- Renamed 'nativepath' to 'pathnorm'.
- Worked on 'stdopts' method.
- Removed overcomplicated 'dbglevel' stuff.
0.42 Sun Jan 9 18:15:39 EST 2000
- POD work
- Fixed quoting bug.
- Defer errors to caller in ipc_childsafe call.
0.45 Fri Jan 14 21:42:12 EST 2000
- Added anon-hash metthod of setting attrs
- Implemented non-sticky context-sensitive attrs.
- Implemented ->stdout(2) and ->stderr(1), etc.
- Renamed stdopts method to attropts.
- push(@EXPORT_OK, MSWIN) constant.
0.46 Sun Jan 16 06:18:11 EST 2000
- bugfix in functional interface
0.47 Tue Jan 18 21:09:41 EST 2000
- Regularized handling of qx/qv/ccqv/etc
0.48 Sun Jan 30 22:40:17 EST 2000
- Renamed 'systemxargs' to 'syxargs'.
- Renamed 'pathnorm' to 'inpathnorm', and added
an 'outpathnorm' method as well.
- Renamed 'cmd' method to 'argv' (to avoid
confusion with $self->ipc_cleartool->cmd()
method.
- Added ->syfail and ->qxfail attributes.
- Allow hashref attr specifiers to have a leading '-'.
0.49 Wed Feb 2 14:56:04 EST 2000
- Bugfix - qx() was overwriting stderr output with stdout
when both were redirected, in ipc_childsafe mode.
- Added an "exception-handling" capability. The autofail
attr can be a code-ref indicating a function to
call on failure, or an array-ref of which the first
element is a code-ref as above and the remainder
constitutes the arguments to pass to said sub.
- Allow constructor to be called as ->clone to clone
an existing instance.
- Reworked ipc_childsafe to only allow derived classes
access to the coprocess (since the base class cannot
directly support it).
- Reworked attropts() to allow prefix_pattern to be specified.
- Normalised -dbglevel output somewhat - made normal mode
show returned data at dbglevel >= 2 since ipc mode does so.
0.50 Wed Feb 16 11:52:40 EST 2000
- Added experimental AUTOLOAD capability, analogous
to "perldoc Shell".
0.51 Mon Apr 3 17:26:46 EDT 2000
- The 'quote' method now returns $self instead of @_.
This is to emphasize the fact that it modifies @_ in place.
- Propagate class attributes into the env to set the defaults
for child processes.
- Cleaned up issues related to Getopt::Long::Configure and
default settings.
