Subject: double-encoded author name in META.json
Date: Tue, 13 Sep 2011 20:02:29 +0200
To: bug-Dist-Zilla [...] rt.cpan.org
From: ilmari [...] ilmari.org (Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker)
when using the MetaJSON plugin with a UTF-8 author name in dist.ini, the name ends up double-encoded in META.json: $ grep Ilmari dist.ini META.* dist.ini:author = Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org> META.json: "Dagfinn Ilmari Manns\u00c3\u00a5ker <ilmari@ilmari.org>" META.yml: - 'Dagfinn Ilmari Mannsåker <ilmari@ilmari.org>' -- ilmari "A disappointingly low fraction of the human race is, at any given time, on fire." - Stig Sandbeck Mathisen

Unfortunately, this is actually a bug in the MetaYAML plugin, because it's *not* double encoding the character. While the plan is to have dist.ini be UTF-8, it's currently being read as Latin-1. So, MetaJSON is correctly treating the UTF-8 sequence c3 a5 as two Latin-1 characters and escaping them. MetaYAML ought to be encoding the result of YAML::Tiny::Dump into UTF-8, which would make it have output consistent with MetaJSON.

This is a bug in the dist.ini reading layer. Proper decoding should done early. -- Olivier Mengué - http://perlresume.org/DOLMEN
