Bug Information
Severity: Important
Broken in: 0.12
Fixed in: (no value)



Subject: META.yml not valid
META.yml is not parsable by YAML and YAML::Syck due to a syntax error (or perhaps a bug in both of those modules, I'm not sure). Attached is a patch which corrects the problem.

Ah, the tyranny of having to keep up with ever changing meta-requirements! Perl6-Say v0.13 has just been uploaded.

But try v0.14 instead.

Thanks for your report. I'm not going to attempt a fix because (as posted on perl.module-authors) Damian Conway and I have agreed that Perl6::Say -- which was only really needed in the 5.6 and 5.8 worlds and is superfluous in 5.10+ -- should be withdrawn from the active CPAN. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan
