Hi there!
Lately I've been rather busy extending Module::Build::Convert
(A Makefile.PL to Build.PL converter); I've basically improved
the debugging output generated when the switch -d is supplied to
the frontend script make2build among many other visual changes
affecting the bug squashing process.
For a better understanding, I provide the Changes list commited
since Release 0.30 which means there were 3 new releases:
Changes Excerpt:
----------------
0.33 Fri Sep 22 16:43:04 CEST 2006
- Optimized the method _exists() to output a newline in verbose
mode after being asked whether one wants to override an existing
Build.PL.
- Prohibited the method _exists() to be twice called when we reinit
the conversion.
- Verbose output statements contain three leading stars (***).
- The output generated when while parsing a code bit is found,
is now embedded within a here-doc.
- The string parsing regular expression has been improved to
recognize mail adresses within <>.
- Extended the code parsing regular expression for comments.
0.32 Thu Sep 21 21:32:27 CEST 2006
- Improved the debugging visual output for the parsing process.
Removed the usage of *empty* for missing values.
- "Press [enter] to continue" will be displayed after each string,
array or hash processed.
0.31 Thu Sep 21 13:49:07 CEST 2006
- Modified the string parsing regular expression to not match
whenever a { or [ appears within the current bit that's parsed.
- The debugging output is now contained within here-docs.
- Added '' / [] / {} to the appropriate debugging descriptions
(string, array and hash).
- While parsing, empty values of either a string, array or hash
will be substituted with *empty*.
- Extended the _exists() method to ask whether the Build.PL
should be overwritten in case the option "Dont_Overwrite_Auto"
is activated; will continue normally if disabled.
- The initial note created by Module::Build::Compat will be
munged.
