guess you only need to add a license line like: license: perl (right now there is just: "license: ~") to your META.yml so it can be parsed :) (but I dunno if it's all you have to do). imp

now it is really done - commit c209a7d: fixed license I got it. It is Makefile.Pl that should be fixed. + LICENSE => 'perl or LGPL2+',

HI there, seems this bug has cropped up again. In truth, it was really never "resolved", just it was resolved enough for most people not to notice.

https://metacpan.org/module/HTML::Template::Pro  # on the left.

Its mostly because the literal string 'perl or LGPL2+' is not recognised by either the META1.4 or META2.0 Specifications.

According to the META1.4 spec , a valid license string can only be one of the following:

https://metacpan.org/module/Module::Build::API#license

And this is somewhat limiting.

Your choices are as follows:

1. Use only a license string from the above list.

2. Upgrade to a very recent version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker that supports emitting META.json ( in the META2.0 format ) which will let you then specifiy an array as your license string, ie:

LICENSE => [ 'perl', 'lgpl_2_1']

Which will then populate the META.json ( 2.0 spec ) correctly as :

"license" : [
      "perl_5",
      "lgpl_2_1"
   ],

And populate the META.yaml ( 1.4 spec ) as the closest approximation supported

license: unknown

I tested this myself by augmenting your Makefile.PL as stated above and the resulting files in my "make distdir" came out like this:

https://gist.github.com/1937763

But Do note I'm using an incredibly recent ExtUtils::MakeMaker for this ( blead perl ) and I'm not sure how recent a version you need ( But I *Can* tell you 6.56 is too old )

This will also likely require you to depend on a very recent version of EUMM and propagate that dependency to your users.

Hope this helps.
