Bug #127343 for Dist-Metadata: Doesn't find the provided versions in common-sense

Subject:

Doesn't find the provided versions in common-sense

Admittedly common::sense doesn't use a common sense approach to its implementation, but CPAN seems to be able to index it. nyx$ perl -MYAML= -MDist::Metadata -E 'say Dump(Dist::Metadata->new( file => "./vendor/cpan/authors/id/M/ML/MLEHMANN/common-sense-3.73.tar.gz" )->package_versions)' --- {}

Dist-Metadata uses Module::Metadata to extract this information, and it doesn't support files in the form common::sense uses. See https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/Module-Metadata/issues/27

Thanks for the info. I have a work around for this in our workflow, and in fact our plan is to phase out the use of common::sense anyway. I just wanted to report in case someone else had this problem, but I didn't realize that had already been reported. I am happy for this ticket to be closed if you like, or it can be left open as a pointer for others.
