Bug #27506 for html2text: [PATCH] minor packaging changes for html2text distribution

Ave, You will find attached a patch against html2text-0.003. The purpose of the patch is to update some packaging issues in the distribution. With the recent introduction of the command "recent" in the CPAN shell (which loads http://search.cpan.org/recent and then convert it to text) and the reliance either on lynx or html2text, I think these changes are opportune. Let me explain each one of the changes made in the patch: (1) the Changes file were updated so you don't have to or may take it as a departing point (2) a test was introduced into the MANIFEST (more on this later) (3) when installing html2text-0.003 via the current CPAN, it tells us "No tests defined for html2text extension." As I introduced a test, a new requirement on Test::More were added to Makefile.PL. This is quite common in today's distribution as Test::More is core for some time and literally thousands of modules bring this dependency. (4) the 'dist' part in Makefile.PL may be removed as the CPAN toolchain works quite well nowadays without the need for these sometimes unportable parameters. (5) two additional parameters were introduced to Makefile.PL which are quite common today: AUTHOR and LICENSE. They are ignored when working with an old MakeMaker and are primarily for adding information to the distribution (META.yml). Review this to make sure that's how you would like it. (6) touched README to update version number (7) the primary show-stopper that prompted me to write this patch is the shebang line the distribution has been using #!/bin/env perl -w Even though the installation works, the script itself may fail in some platforms. It actually happened when I tried with Cygwin. On contrary, the shebang line #!/usr/bin/perl -w is automatically updated to the right path on installation time and will work everywhere. (8) and then I touched the version number and it is your call to bump it to 0.004 or whatever it pleases you (9) I wrote a simple test script which merely checks that the script compiles. It depends on the availability of Test::Script. If it is not installed, the test is skipped without a failure. I think this is a very minimal test and the simplest. Thanks for this module.
