Subject: self-download code is not 5.17-safe
The "Self-Download" code in the docs includes this line: (!defined($e)||$e!~m/--(?:default|skip|testonly)/and-t STDIN or "Having no space between pattern and following word is deprecated" for two releases now, and is being made fatal in 5.18. The code above appears in many Module::Install::AutoInstall libraries in the wild, which will need to be updated. In the meantime, the code simple should have space put around the "and" as needed. Thanks! -- rjbs
