After watching yet another dogfight in RT and the M::B list about META.yml parsing, version objects, etc., I would really, really appreciate the following as well: * A single "canonical" META.json generator and parser -- that all the tools use and that could reasonably be lobbied into the core. * Unambiguous META spec for version number formatting * Spec validation (separate from parsing so it can use non-core tools) * Have PAUSE reject dists with an invalid spec -- David
