Subject: META.yml needs to be YAML 1.0, not 1.1
Parse::CPAN::Meta only supports YAML 1.0. Could you please revise it for YAML 1.0? Thank you, David
As I have already posted on the mailing list, this is a duplicate of https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=40228 and earlier already https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39528 or more to the point https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=39552. Having reported it 2008-09-23T16:01:10 I would not expect it to be fixed any time soon. So, Merejn, maybe it would resolve this permanent frustration for new members of the perl community if you'd simply remove these version snippets from your META.yml files? Mind you, I would not even know how to fix the bug in YAML.pm since one would first have to fix the YAML specs. This is why some in the perl community intend to replace META.yml with META.json. But as you can imagine, this won't happen overnight.
