Subject: MM 7.32 is noisy on STDERR
Date: Mon, 19 Feb 2018 22:49:37 +0000
To: bug-ExtUtils-MakeMaker [...] rt.cpan.org
From: Dave Mitchell <davem [...] iabyn.com>
In bleadperl, the recently added 7.32 is producing several of these warnings on STDERR: WARNING: Older versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker may errantly install README.pod as part of this distribution. It is recommended to avoid using this path in CPAN modules. As I've been working hard over the years to make the perl build process produce (almost) no output on STDERR, and thus where anything on STDERR is now usually something that needs fixing, it would be handy if these warnings could be diverted elsewhere, or failing that, suppressed under PERL_CORE=1. Thanks, Dave M
