It looks like this only occurs on Strawberry Perl since it was compiled to have $ENV{PERL_YAML_BACKEND} set to "YAML". Normally Parse::CPAN::Meta will parse the YAML file using CPAN::Meta::YAML, but because Strawberry Perl has this environment variable hard-coded, Parse::CPAN::Meta uses YAML to parse the YAML file instead, which dies on parsing non-ASCII characters. I'm not sure what would really need to be fixed.

Sounds like the tests should guard against that environment variable. Then CPAN::Meta tests should pass, things will break at runtime, and it's clearer what is at fault. I'm disappointed to hear that Strawberry is setting that variable. -- David
