Greetings,
attached is the patch to add CPANPLUS 0.78 (latest release) to the
core. This
release has all outstanding bugs fixed and has passed all smoke tests
for some
time; hereby it is declared stable[1].
As per usual, this is a patch against the latest bleadperl, and all
tests pass
succesfully on my development box.
As for all other patches, I've used my auto-patch[2] script to
generate this patch.
However the script isn't educated yet how to deal with the "vms/
descrip_mms.template"
file[3] when adding new script files to the core. Hopefully someone
on the list
(possibly you Craig ;) know how to alter this file to have it do the
right thing.
Any feedback is welcome,

[2] I'll send this script as a seperate patch in the hope it proves
useful to
pumpkings and other module updaters
[3] This is the type of change that's needed:
WARNING! You should add entries like the following
to vms/descrip_mms.template (Using ptardiff as an example)
Unfortunately I dont understand what these entries
do, so I wont change them automatically:
358-utils3 = [.utils]perlivp.com [.lib]splain.com [.utils]pl2pm.com
[.utils]xsubpp.com [.utils]instmodsh.com
359:utils4 = [.utils]enc2xs.com [.utils]piconv.com [.utils]cpan.com
[.utils]prove.com [.utils]ptar.com [.utils]ptardiff.com [.utils]
