Hi! Not sure if this list is the best place to discuss META.yml questions. Anyway...
With the help from Barbie, CPANTS now uses Test::YAML::Meta::Version to check if each dists META.yml matches the spec. Now, Test::YAML::Meta::Version is quite strict (maybe even too strict..), but one issue that shows up quite often is that according to the spec, the author field has to be a list http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-current.html#author but people use it like author: Foo <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> It seems that Module::Install generates such invalid META.yml files, so all dists using Module::Install fail the metayml_conforms_to_known_spec and metayml_conforms_spec_current metric. So, is META.yml to strict (i.e. should author be a list or a string)? Is Test::YAML::Meta::Version to strict? Is this just a bug in Module::Install and has to be fixed there? -- #!/usr/bin/perl http://domm.plix.at for(ref bless{},just'another'perl'hacker){s-:+-$"-g&&print$_.$/}
