That's incorrect. CPAN.pm prefers Parse::CPAN::Meta and will attempt to parse with it. If it's not available (or the parse fails), it will fall-back to the CPAN-defined preferred YAML module. Parse::CPAN::Meta is read-only and CPAN's preferred YAML module is so that it can write (and read back) data as it processes things. -- David
