Bug #100983 for AnyEvent-AIO: META.yml is not parsable by CPAN::META::YAML

Thu Dec 18 02:36:40 2014 AVKHOZOV [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

The file META.yml (https://metacpan.org/source/MLEHMANN/AnyEvent-AIO-1.1/META.yml) contains JSON instead of YAML. Perhaps it should be renamed.

It is surprising, but this is valid YAML. Just try the file with YAML::Shell: cat META.yml | ysh

But CPAN::Meta::YAML (which uses by dh-make-perl) can not parse it: "CPAN::Meta::YAML failed to classify line '{' at /usr/local/share/perl/5.14.2/CPAN/Meta.pm line 154."

This is probably because CPAN::Meta::YAML only parses YAML-Tiny, not full YAML.

This bug is valid -- CPAN::Meta::YAML cannot parse this META.yml. The author may wish to provide a META.json which modern tools will prefer instead of META.yml. Regardless, META.yml should be converted to YAML that CPAN::Meta::YAML can parse, or older toolchains will continue to have difficulty with this distribution. see also https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/YAML-Tiny/issues/43
