Getting There Slowly

Well, that release of Template::Plugin::XML::LibXML went well. Not.

merlyn emailed me to say he was having problems installing it. It seems that when he ran the Makefile that was created by MakeMaker it was running the Build.PL script too - not so handy if you don't have Module::Build installed. I posted to London.pm for help, and Dom told me that the Makefile will run all *.PL scripts unless otherwise told to...including the Build.PL one (ooops.) Apparently the fix is to put a PL_FILES => {} in the Makefile.PL. I'm glad that all my new modules use the new Beta Module::Build to create Makefile.PLs from the Build.PL automagically, and I don't have to worry about this anymore.

Anyway, another version of Template::Plugin::XML::LibXML released to the CPAN.

Oh, I also wrote Template::Plugin::Textile today, which is eleven lines of plugin code that allows you to use the Text::Textile module from within the Template Toolkit. On the CPAN.

Still haven't completed the changes I want to make for my slides for YAPC::NA. Kudos to richardc for installing PDFLib on my Mac for me while I was hacking away on my slides on the other box. This means I can make changes right up until the last minute.
