Changes for version 6.53_01 - 2009-06-07
- Bug Fixes
- blib will now be rebuilt if the Makefile is changed
- rt.cpan.org 46658
- 6.52 broke the setting of EXTRALIBS, LDLOADLIBS and BSLOADLIBS when $self->{LIBS}[0] is undefined. [rt.cpan.org 46633] (Craig Berry)
- Cygwin
- Fixed MM_Cygwin.t when the path prefix (ie. cygdrive) has been changed by the user. [rt.cpan.org 46585] (JDHEDDEN)
- VMS
- Removed attempts to compensate for the "bin" logical added by some versions of GNV, Craig says they're futile. Put a warning into the Makefile.PL instead. [rt.cpan.org 46679] (Craig Berry)
- Removed the arch_check() special case for VMS. [rt.cpan.org 46678] (Craig Berry)
- Win32
- Restore building the core by not trying to load the Win32 module in arch_check() with miniperl. [rt.cpan.org 46667] (Max Maischein)
- Tests
- Forgot to get rid of the tests for bytes and vmsish which were removed in 6.51_01.
- Stopped running a Windows specific arch_check.t test on non-Windows. (Craig Berry)
- rt.cpan.org 46678
