> Perl CPAN Packaging Improvements
> --------------------------------
>
> Key: THRIFT-4416
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-4416
> Project: Thrift
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build Process, Perl - Library
> Affects Versions: 0.10.0, 0.11.0
> Environment: CPAN
> Reporter: James E. King, III
> Assignee: James E. King, III
> Fix For: 0.12.0
>
>
> The perl library has a few files and a shell script designed to automate the
> production of a perl package for CPAN. It mostly works, however:
> 1. CPAN cannot parse the package version references we use when we point to
> lib/Thrift.pm from other packages. This is fixed by adding a provides{}
> stanza to META.json.
> 2. Users of CPAN don't care about anything but obtaining the "Thrift" package
> that contains all the others, so identifying the others (like
> Thrift::BinaryProtocol) is not necessary. This is done by adding a
> provides{} stanza to META.json.
> 3. The CPAN package no longer needs the META.yml file, as META.json is
> sufficient.
> 4. These changes were made by hand to the 0.11.0 package before uploading to
> CPAN. This needs to be automated.
