| Subject: | configure-requires support before 5.10.1: "Parse::Metayaml" is really Parse::CPAN::Meta! |
Dear CPAN.pm maintainers,
CPAN.pm added support for configure_requires dependencies. But it needs
a YAML parser for that. In order to work out of the box in core perl
(specifically the soonish-to-be-released 5.10.1), it needs a
YAML/meta.yml parser in core. It's been decided that a simple
Parse::CPAN::Meta is to be absorbed for that.
However, CPAN.pm contains a typo: It says 'Parse::Metayaml' where it
should be 'Parse::CPAN::Meta'. It'd be very important to have this fix
in core before 5.10.1 or the configure-requires support (which may be
important for a lot of build-tools like eventually) will be broken until
the next perl release...
Cheers,
Steffen
