Bug #107076 for Net-SSLeay: Please quote version string in META.yml

Subject:

Please quote version string in META.yml

Hi, I'm using a framework called fpm to build RPM of Net::SSLeay and running into a very obscure issue because your version number is unquoted in your META.yml. In a nutshell, some YAML parsers treat unquoted 1.70 as a floating number and when parsed, spits out 1.7 instead. Of course, this wouldn't have been a problem if version didn't end with a zero; but in case of 1.70, it does. Here is an issue I opened on fpm side for reference, although we've looked at this and decided that no change was needed on their side: https://github.com/jordansissel/fpm/issues/989 The solution I'd like to ask for is one of the following: 1. simply quote version in META.yml as version: '1.70' instead of version: 1.70 2. provide META.json with the same content (fpm reads META.json first if it exists). Thank you very much, Satoshi

I'm one of the FPM maintainers for the CPAN module. We prioritise the META.json file as it's more machine readable than the YAML and generally more common, however the issue with unquoted strings is present in both YAML and JSON. This is a feature of both formats however so I'm not sure how feasible it is to fix in upstream projects given the core issue is in the Ruby YAML and JSON libraries automatically casting and truncating trailing zeroes. Net::SSLeay is a fairly common module for our users and also one of our test cases so it would be great if this was fixed here, but we really need to resolve it in FPM itself.
