podlators 4.01

The previous release, switching to Module::Build, created a circular dependency with Module::Build itself with older versions of Perl. I pondered various ways to get around this, since I'm no longer a fan of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, but I finally decided that I was being silly. So podlators now just uses ExtUtils::MakeMaker — it does support the new metadata keys these days — rather than trying to support two separate build systems. (ExtUtils::MakeMaker is required for Perl core integration.)

This release also didn't fix the problems with Term::Cap 1.16 in particular (although it worked with 1.17). That's also now fixed in this release by ensuring that Pod::Text::Termcap doesn't override an existing TERMPATH environment variable setting, something it shouldn't have been doing in the first place.

You can get the latest release from the podlators distribution page.
