Note that I've already written 2 distributions to test the META.yml file: http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Test::CPAN::Meta http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?Test::YAML::Meta And in fact CPANTS already uses the latter to validate against the version of the spec stated in the META.yml, and the current spec :) Cheers, Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers <http://birmingham.pm.org> Memoirs Of A Roadie <http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk>
