Subject: Module::Build doesn't follow UNINST
When calling the 'install' action, Module::Build does not seem to use the parameter UNINST=1 when it is passed in. It does follow 'uninst=1' if that is passed in or '--uninst 1'. In CPAN.pm, I have the make_install_args set to 'UNINST=1' so that ExtUtils::MakeMaker uninstalls any other modules of the same name that are being installed. It would be nice if Module::Build also used the same parameters. Trevor
I believe this has been fixed in CVS - version 0.25 should hit CPAN fairly soon, or you could try the latest CVS version if you'd like to help verify that it works. -Ken
