That has been the case for a couple of years or so. I think it was
first introduced in 6.30.
Yup, back in 2005.
However, using the LICENSE parameter will cause the build to break on
any system with EU::MM < 6.30 installed. (Granted, they should upgrade
- but I'd rather avoid unnecessary breakage).
That's not true. Older EU::MMs will spit a warning, but they'll build
the Makefile just the same.
FWIW, my "works anywhere" snippet looks like this:
my @license =
do {
my $version = $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION;
$version =~ tr/_//d;
$version} > 6.30
? qw(LICENSE perl)
: ();
WriteMakefile(
AUTHOR => 'David Landgren',
# ...
@license,
);
