Changes for version 0.09 - 2002-06-28

  • The 'distdir' action wasn't deleting the distribution directory before building it again. This meant that, say, if you did 'Build disttest' then 'Build dist', you'd end up with a blib/ directory in your distribution. I actually had this happen for version 0.08, and it's not nice to distribute a blib/ on CPAN.
  • We now keep track of the 'base_dir', i.e. the top-level build directory, so we can change back into it if we change out of it. This necessitated a cwd() method, which uses the Cwd.pm module. I'm aware of Cwd's limitations, particularly under taint-mode, but I don't know a way around using it here.
  • The 'dist_dir' action now changes back into 'base_dir' directory.
  • We now do write_config() inside the create_build_script() method, not inside the new() method.
  • Simplified the find_version() method, and improved its error messages.
  • Renamed module_name_to_file() to find_module_by_name(), and added a parameter specifying the directories to search in. Previously we searched in 'lib' and @INC, which wasn't correct in all situations.
  • Patched the docs to change "Build test" to "./Build test"
