2.16.2 Sun Mar 4 15:42:32 CST 2018
Require Cwd 3.73 to avoid issue with infinite recursion in
abs_path. Hopefully this fixes issues with FB::l croaking
on sanity check for "abs_path '//'" (RT #124335).
If this doesn't work I'll have to replace the abs_path check with "-e
'/.' && -e '/..'" as test for working abs_path (vs. using rel2abs).
2.16.1 Sun Feb 25 16:53:30 CST 2018
Require Module::FromPerlVer 0.000005, avoids bug in 0.000004 that
calls the wrong sub to make the source copy.
2.16 Sun Feb 25 16:53:30 CST 2018
Replace various hacks in Makefile.PL with Module::FromPerlVer. At this
point there may be multiple versions going forward which use features
of Perl after 5.14; older versions will be frozen (aside from bugfixes).
Note that the new arrangement leaves ./lib out of the tarball: it is
created by Module::FromPerlVer from ./version/<appropriate>/lib when
Makefile.PL is processed.
This file is now CHANGES.
2.15.02 Tue Jan 30 12:18:00 CST 2018
use explicit LICENSE key in Extutils metadata.
2.15.01 Fri Jan 26 10:10:37 CST 2018
Add 'same terms as perl 5.24 or any later version' license.
2.15 Tue Sep 1 14:33:49 CDT 2015
Explictly export empty string w/ scalar export if no lib's found
to avoid undefined variable errors in caller.
Added test for explicitly looking up non-existant directory and
exporting it as a scalar.
Test cleanups.
2.14 Tue Sep 1 13:55:19 CDT 2015
Minor refactoring: Return immediately from import if no lib's are found.
Minor comment and POD issues.
2.13 Thu Jan 15 11:26:45 CST 2015
Patch old version, thanks to Dominic Humphries.
Use v5.14 in new version.
2.11 Tue Sep 2 13:28:18 CDT 2014
"append" causes appends array exports from multiple searches using the
same variable to append (vs. overwrite) their values. default is old
behavior (i.e., "noappend" which overwrites).
e.g., from t/10*t:
FindBin::libs->import
(
qw
(
base=foo
subdir=etc
subonly
export=etc
append
)
);
FindBin::libs->import
(
qw
(
base=bar
subdir=etc
subonly
export=etc
append
)
);
generates:
# Second pass looks for bar/etc:[
# '/sandbox/lembark/Modules/FindBin-libs/foo/etc',
# '/sandbox/lembark/Modules/FindBin-libs/bar/etc'
# ]
Main use is finding, say, multiple ./etc dir's and exporting
them all into a search list for config files.
Given:
./myproj/etc
./shared/etc
then #! code in ./myproj/bin could:
use FindBin::libs qw( export base=etc );
use FindBin::libs qw( export base=shared subdir=etc subonly );
and get @etc of ( .../myproj/etc, .../shared/etc ).
The old behavior, 'noappend' overwrites the variable (which can be
handy for re-setting the dirs also).
2.10 Tue Sep 2 10:30:12 CDT 2014
"scalar" seems to work; update POD so that people know to use it.
2.07 Mon Jul 28 02:48:49 CDT 2014
Try one more time to deal with version issues.
2.01 Sat Jul 26 01:52:46 CDT 2014
Version numbers now come from the current build rather than Makefile.PL.
Upping the version to v2.00 makes it easier to keep track of it all.
Makefile uses stringy, .pm uses v-string.
Hopefully that will keep everyone happy.
For libs_curr:
Avoid truncating dirent's with embedded newlines in taint-hack
by using single-line mode: m{ (.+) }xs
Add "scalar" option to export the first directory found only as
a scalar (vs list). Mainly useful with things like config dir's
where the first one will always be used in any case:
use FindBin::libs qw( base=etc scalar );
exports "$etc" rather than "@etc" (saves using $etc[0]
everyplace). Also works with
use FindBin::libs qw( base=etc export=config scalar );
to export $config rather than an array.
Added some examples.
Replace given block to avoid nastygrams from post-5.16 perls.
Add stub libs.pm as placeholder for version.
Finally remembered to fix typo (thanks to x.guimard).
1.11 Wed Jul 2 22:34:00 CDT 2014
R.I.P. Build.PL.
see Makefile.PL
Fix broken assignment of rel2abs from Cwd rather than
File::Spec::Functions.
Add test for abs_path or rel2abs surviving both '//' and 'cwd' --
if neither of them is available or working the rest of this is
a waste.
Note: I don't have access to windows for testing. If any of this
fails please contact me and we can figure out what is wrong.
1.9.1 Tue May 27 08:20:41 CDT 2014
Minor cleanup blows up in 5.12; works in 5.14. Given that 5.20 is
about to be on the street: the current version is pushed
up to 5.14 (i.e., if ref $^V and v5.14 le $^V then the
installed version is *_curr, otherwise it is *_5_8).
1.9 Sat May 24 09:15:15 CDT 2014
Minor cleanup in handling abs_path replacement.
Seems to work for people with original issue so this one goes
on CPAN.
1.8.1 Sun Mar 23 14:29:44 CDT 2014
Assign local abs_path rather than shuffle the symbol table after using Cwd.
Avoids issues with munging symbol table in Cwd itself.
1.8 Tue May 28 21:04:30 CDT 2013
Update to work with v5.18
1.7 Thu Mar 14 15:23:30 GMT 2013
Up version to 1.7, avoids issues with mutliple dots.
1.65.2 Tue Feb 19 20:00:27 CST 2013
Fix tests for Windows (thanks to Alexandr Ciornii
for patches).
1.65.1 Sat Dec 22 22:47:55 CST 2012
Pod Errors.
1.65
Skip unusable tests on windows; use abs_path for
path checks to avoid symlinks botching the tests.
Cleanups in libs_curr.pm to use 5.10 features.
Add "blib" option to prefer "blib" to "lib" at the
first level only where blib exists, mainly for use
in testing.
1.64
Update Build.PL to use '0' instead of '>0' for the
dependencies.
1.63
Avoid indexing the older version by splitting the
package name onto a separate line in the source.
1.62 Tue Feb 14 14:11:17 EST 2012
Switch to Module::Build. This allows installing a
single file based on $^V of the Perl used for
installation. This leaves a single "libs.pm"
insalled as either the source's 5.8 version or
the newer one for 5.10 or later.
I have no way to test this on Windows or VMS;
any feedback would be appreciated.
1.61 Fri Feb 10 11:10:30 EST 2012
$^V does not compare gracefully prior to 5.10 or
5.12 (not sure which). Either way, this leaves the
comparison of $^V useless. Choices are unpack and
printf or use Config to get the version.
So... libs.pm now uses Config and version to generate
comparable objects.
1.59 Tue Dec 20 17:05:10 CST 2011
Fix typo; update tests to expliclty include
both of the back-end modules.
1.58 Fri Dec 16 13:06:42 CST 2011
Hopefully the metadata is un-screwed up enough for
the thing to succeed at this point.
1.57 Fri Dec 16 12:26:13 CST 2011
So much for midnight hacks... simplified
the test for older versions: libs.pm is
the current version, libs_5_8.pm is stable
for the older perl's.
1.56 Thu Nov 24 10:26:00 CST 2011
Added "use if $^V < v5.12" to pull in version
of code useful with v5.8 and later. Basically
this just puts a rather thin layer in front of
the older code vs. newer (which will use switches
for some of the logic, among other things).
1.55 Wed Nov 23 16:50:57 CST 2011
Fix version-string bug in Makefile.PL
1.54 Wed Nov 9 17:00:09 CST 2011
OK, seems to make more sense if the code
uses 5.10, which is still supported.
1.53 Sun Oct 9 11:02:50 CDT 2011
oops... should have upped the module version number
when I upped the Perl version... also makes more sense
to use v-strings at this point with v5.12.
1.52 Fri Sep 9 17:10:29 EDT 2011
Add "realbin" option that bases the lookup on
$FindBin::RealBin. This allows a command line
executable to be symlinked back to wherever it
lives and find configuration files adjacent
to the "real" file. This saves having to symlink
the configuration files next to the symlinked
executable.
Up the use to v5.10 now that 5.8 is no longer
supported.
1.51 Thu Sep 2 18:26:55 EDT 2010
Fix MANIFEST.
Internal changes.
1.43 Thu Sep 2 12:34:52 EDT 2010
Fix bug that required use=1 instead of "use" alone in
argument processing.
Add POD for mixing git repositories using git repository
as base with ( subdir=lib subonly ).
1.41 Sat Jun 13 23:02:36 EDT 2009
Fix errors in tests 06, 07.
1.40 Wed Jun 10 07:22:48 EDT 2009
Blindly regex the lib's before returning them
from find_libs. This avoids issues running
tainted.
1.39 Tue Jun 9 18:14:02 EDT 2009
Remove an extraneous $DB::single.
1.38 Tue Jun 9 17:00:29 EDT 2009
Catch: "-T" doesn't like eval-ed code.
Fix:
require lib;
lib->import( @lib_dirs )
It doesn't seem as though lib depends on
the caller's namespace, so there isn't
any harm in calling it this way. Otherwise
I'll have to find some other way of working
around -T.
1.36 Mon Mar 31 19:06:25 EDT 2008
Add tests for mulitple use or require + multiple
calls to import. Check that calling import once
with a subdir followed by a second without any
arg's still gives the same results (t/0[67]).
Update Makefile.PL to use 5.00601.
1.35 Fri Mar 30 13:05:45 EDT 2007
Add additional check for broken abs_path on W32.
Update tests to add ./bin for cases where the
O/S does not supply one.
1.34 Thu Mar 29 15:42:26 EDT 2007
Add block eval for 'abs_path' calls in the
sub-dir checks to avoid croaking MS platforms
(not an issue for *NIX or VMS that I can tell).
1.33 Tue Feb 6 11:40:10 EST 2007
Add subdir and subonly to look below the ./lib
dir's for things like ../lib/perl5.
1.32 Sat Jan 20 15:58:36 EST 2007
Repair botched MANIFEST
1.31 Thu Dec 7 14:34:24 EST 2006
POD
./exmaple/p5run sets PERL5LIB and exec's whatever else
is on the command line.
MANIFEST cleanups
1.30 Thu Dec 7 14:34:24 EST 2006
Added 'p5lib' to prefix the lib's found to $ENV{ PERL5LIB }.
POD for p5lib, doc cleanups.
1.26 Tue Aug 1 12:26:13 EDT 2006
- Added Bin argument to allow overriding $FindBin::Bin
as the root of all evil.
1.25 Fri Mar 3 08:37:49 EST 2006
- POD: using prove without a blib.
1.23 Mon Feb 27 12:49:02 EST 2006
- Fix paren bug in catpath.
- Update POD format bugs.
1.21 Wed Feb 8 16:20:44 EST 2006
- Trying to fix regex oddity on VMS...
- Use ".+" to untaint $FindBin::Bin instead of "(.+)/?".
1.20 Sun Jan 29 19:29:03 EST 2006
- Use File::Spec to split, assemble directory paths.
- Optinally stub Cwd::abs_path if it failes to resolve
cwd at startup.
- Replaced test.pl with t/*.t.
- POD
1.07 Thu Sep 8 09:33:29 EDT 2005
- RedHat Enterprise Version 4 has a bug that leaves $FindBin::Bin
with a trailing slash. Fix is to regex it off before using the
variable.
- Added "debug" argument to set $DB::single = 1 after processing
the arguments; saves having to hack the code to test where the
things come from.
1.06 Sat Apr 30 00:24:23 EDT 2005
- Set print to undef -- should've been that way
to begin with.
1.05 Thu Nov 4 17:35:31 EST 2004
- Wrap abs_path in an eval to handle systems that die on
non-existant directories.
1.03 Wed Oct 20 12:03:30 EDT 2004
- Fix doc bug -- added /jowbloe/ below /home on the
sandbox examples.
1.03 Tue Oct 19 17:13:04 EDT 2004
- Update doc's to include sandbox manglement.
1.02 Thu Jun 10 14:26:53 CDT 2004
- Fix typo in version number.
1.01 Mon May 31 21:13:13 CDT 2004
- Modify the split for ignored arguments to ignore whitespace
around the comma separators. This only applies to cases where
the caller doesn't use qw() for the arguments and ends up
with something like: 'ignore=/, /foo'.
- Repair default arg's to successfully ignore '/' and
'/usr' by default.
- Eval symlink creation to handle systems without symlinks.
Caveat utilitor: this module has only been tested by me on
*NIX, the assumed directory separation on '/' is most
likely broken on ms-dos, VMS, or related filesystems. If
any currently available *NIX lacks symlinks please warn
me, otherwise YMMV.
- Cleaned up some comments.
1.00 Mon Mar 22 11:18:45 CST 2004
- Up the version number. Thing seems stable enough to call it
1.00 at this point.
- Reverse the order of CHANGES, with most recent at the top.
0.18 Tue Mar 16 22:22:02 CST 2004
- Added -e test before abs_path to avoid nastygrams
from Cwd on abs_path of dangling links.
0.17 Mon Mar 8 23:25:20 CST 2004
- Removed leftover $DB::single (d'oh...)
0.16 Sat Jan 24 14:52:23 CST 2004
- Replaced 0 with undef for default print. noprint is
now the default.
0.15 Sat Jan 24 14:46:22 CST 2004
- POD
0.14 Wed Dec 3 12:23:42 CST 2003
- Modify Makefile.PL to use ABSTRACT_FROM, NAME entry of POD to
add abstract.
- Added notes to README.
- Included test for bogus directory (unless you DO have a
./frobnicatorium) w/ exported array empty.
0.13 Wed Dec 3 10:12:13 CST 2003
- pod for sandbox description.
0.11 Wed Nov 26 16:08:35 CST 2003
- Fixed switch bug for handling print/noprint & verbose.
- test.pl failed on Solaris due to /bin -> /usr/bin, test
changed to regex from eq.
0.10 Mon Nov 24 16:06:22 CST 2003
Initial release.
