Bug #16569 for Module-Install: author should take array to match META.yml spec and Module::Build

Sat Dec 17 20:50:04 2005 MARKSTOS [...] cpan.org - Ticket created

Subject:

author should take array to match META.yml spec and Module::Build

The META.yml spec supports multiple authors via an array: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-blead.html#author Module::Build does as well. So in Metadata.pm, the handling of 'author' should be updated to take a single value or an array of authors. Other places in the code that rely on this data may need updated as well.

The author entry in META.yml is now a sequence (aka a list), but the author method does still only take one argument, effectively preventing you from setting more than one author in META.yml. So this bug is still relevant and can hopefully be fixed easily.
