Changes for version 2.24 - 2014-03-30

  • FEATURE: Provide a stack backtrace when `Carp::Always` is enabled. Note that sometimes this is not as pretty as it could be, patches welcome. (Thanks to Niels Thykier, GH #35)

  • INTERNAL: Remove now unused variables in code (Niels Thykier).
  • DOCS: Make it extra-clear autodie doesn't check `print`. (Dave Rolsky, GH #39)
  • TEST: Removed obsolete boilerplate.t
  • TEST / INTERNAL: Enabled travis-ci for Perl 5.8
  • TEST: Stopped some Pod::Coverage tests failing under Perl 5.8
  • BUILD: Better support for building in a read-only directory (courtesy Andrew Fresh, GH #46)
