Changes for version 2.013 - 2003-02-20
- Allow --upgrade to work without specifying a module.
- fixed bug with --no-requires about a hash dereference on a string under strict
- somewhere between CPAN version 1.52 and 1.65 the interface to CPAN::Shell->expand() changed, moving all relevant data to the RO key. to support older versions cpan2rpm now unfolds this hash
- searchcpan() now states when module not found
- added code to check PREREQ_PM for dependencies. program now quits listing missing dependencies when appropriate
- warnings for fetching files from the net reworked. no longer warns when installing libwww-perl and doesn't double warn (when chkupgrade() runs)
- added notification when checking for upgrades
- fixed bug with external program handling for http_get() + cleaned up language
- program now dies (as it should) when building a package fails
- when copying files we now now make sure file exists
- when working on a directory, the tarball name is now generated correctly e.g. String-Canonical-1.2.tar.gz NOT Canonical-1.2.tar.gz
- Some cpan distributions contain the actual "." within it (e.g. CGI.pm and Net_SSLeay.pm) so this is now handled properly
