| Subject: | Error parsing JSON-DWIW 0.47 META.json |
While installing some modules I saw this error pop up and wondered what
happened. Digging into the error it looks like the author hand-rolled
the META.json and it is "invalid" but to me it's a harmless error? I
don't know the META.json spec well but spurious newlines should be
forgiven, eh? :)
Attached is the log - you can reproduce it by:
Perl-5.10.1 ( Ubuntu 11.04 version )
Parse::CPAN::Meta v1.4401
$JSON::PP::VERSION = '2.27105';
$JSON::VERSION = '2.51';
And just try to load the META.json included in JSON-DWIW v0.47
Thanks!
