Subject: Fix: avoid calling auto_install in Makefile.PL
Hi, the modules Makefile.PL contains auto_install() whereas it shouldn't. We've repeatedly been hit by modules doing this and don't want to break the automated setups we're doing. What the Module::Install manual says in that regard: ``The use of auto_install is strongly discouraged in any distribution to be uploaded to the CPAN, as the use of it violates the normal CPAN client to toolchain communication protocol.'' http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Module-Install-0.80/lib/Module/Install.pod#Module::Install::AutoInstall I've attached a simple patch that fixes it. Regards, Simon
