CPAN-WWW-Testers

Revision history for Perl module CPAN::WWW::Testers.

0.49 07/02/2009

The NYTProf release
moved to using YAML::Syck to speed up YAML output processing.
removed dclone calls as it wasn't necessary and implemented the additional fields into report structure directly, instead of repeating the process.
moved to using iterators where more appropriate.
rewrote writestats to implement a single loop around perl versions instead of 3!
updated _log to include datestamp and append newline
moved more decision making into SQL
Blead Perl GitLive patches are causing formatting problems, so all patched Perls with 'blead' are now rewritten as 'patch blead'.
