Bug Information
Severity: Important
Broken in: 1.07
Fixed in: 1.08



Subject: META.yml incompatible with latest Module::Build releases
The META.yml file specifies the prerequisite Perl version as '5.6.0', which Module::Build no longer supports.  According to the upcoming META 2.0 spec it needs to be written either as '5.006' or as '"v5.6.0"' as a quoted string.

Ref http://github.com/dagolden/cpan-meta-spec/blob/master/META-spec.pod#version_numbers

Sample build failure:

Show quoted text
# running Build.PL --installdirs core
compilet-1308884992.c
   Creating library C:\WINNT\TEMP\compilet.lib and object C:\WINNT\TEMP\compilet.exp
Creating new 'MYMETA.yml' with configuration results
Creating new 'Build' script for 'Win32-IPC' version '1.07'
Prereq '5.6.0' for 'perl' is not supported by Module::Build::Compat


This has also been raised as a ticket for Module::Build.  The issue *specifically for Module::Build::Compat* is that the restriction should not apply to 'perl' since that doesn't go into PREREQ_PM.
