[Module::Build] Beta released

[Ken W. <ke...@ma...>]

Hey,

I'm really supposed to be wrapping presents and so on, but I just 
couldn't help releasing another beta of Module::Build.  Merry 
Christmas! =)

Your secret solstice santa,

  - During testing, if YAML.pm isn't installed, then we won't try
    making a tarball with Archive::Tar either, since this would invoke
    YAML to create the META.yml file.

  - Fixed a problem with chmod() being called incorrectly on MacOS
    (i.e. MacPerl, not Mac OS X).  [Spotted by Paul Sanford Toney]

  - Fixed a problem with the --config flag not being treated properly
    (essentially ignored) on the command line for 'perl Build.PL' or
    'Build <action>'. [Spotted by Jakub Bogusz]

  - Added a new config() method to get at the Build object's notion of
    the %Config hash.

  - Test::Harness is starting to contend for the Most Crotchety Module
    Award.  Work around a few of its nits when setting harness
    switches. [Spotted by Diab Jerius]

  - Changed the manpage separator on OS/2 to '.'. [Randy Sims]

  - Now the Build script will die() if we're run from the wrong
    directory, rather than trying to chdir() to the right directory and
    do its work there.  See
    https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=4039 . [Chris Dolan]

  - On OS/2, disable C compilation, since apparently it isn't working
    there. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich]

  - Inserted a comment into auto-generated Makefile.PLs saying it was
    auto-generated. [Randy Sims]

  - Fixed some annoying behavior in generated passthrough Makefile.PLs
    when the user chose not to install Module::Build, or if
    installation failed. [Reported by Ilya Zakharevich and Richard
    Clamp]

  - Moved the documentation for 'codebase' to the section where it's
    relevant. [Randy Sims, Glenn Linderman]

  - Made the 'name', 'abstract', 'author', and 'version' properties
    required when building a PPD file. [Spotted by Randy Sims, Dave
    Rolsky, & Glenn Linderman]
