Update contact info
Properly handle heredocs This fixes RT #115392.
The Big Boilerplate Factorization
Preserve previous compilation errors on fatal indirect constructs This fixes RT #104312.
Add POSIX to build requires
Update the ActivePerl/gcc-3.4 hack for EUMM 7.04 Starting from this version, PERL_ARCHIVE is quoted so we can no longer set it to the empty string. Instead, we remove all occurrences of PERL_ARCHIVE in the linking step section of the Makefile, which is OK since we specify the perl DLL in other variables. This new technique is still valid for older versions of EUMM.
Make Perl version numbers more readable
Update the bug tracker URL in META after the rt.perl.org upgrade This fixes RT #84649.
Force linking against the perl dll when using gcc 3.4 on Windows When a Windows perl links an XS shared object to an import library using gcc/g++ version 3.4.x, strange breakage happens at load time because the mutex-related symbols seems not to be reachable. This situation happens especially for AS perl and the default compiler suite it installs. We fix this by forcing g++ to link against the dll instead, which should be in the same directory as the perl executable (at least for AS perl).
Add BUILD_REQUIRES to WriteMakefile()
Quote version numbers in Makefile.PL
Kill Debian_CPANTS.txt suffixes as well
Forbid passing 'hook' and 'fatal' at the same time Carp is required.
Encode the README file in UTF-8
Remove remaining occurences of $^V
Require perl 5.8.1 5.8.0 seems to cause a lot of "Modification of a a read-only value" errors.
Re-indent WriteMakefile() arguments
Build the $name and the main $file from $dist
Put prerequisites in their own separate hash
Give an explicit value to dynamic_config
