Subject: Anomalous description in ABSTRACT metadata
I've recently noticed a formatting issue with the Abstract data in META.(yml|json) https://metacpan.org/source/BOBTFISH/Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10020/META.yml abstract: 'Infrastructure plugin for the Catalyst' and http://api.metacpan.org/v0/release/_search?q=name:Catalyst-Plugin-Authentication-0.10020&fields=abstract,license I suspect the cause of this is the linefeed in the POD: <pre> <code> =head1 NAME Catalyst::Plugin::Authentication - Infrastructure plugin for the Catalyst authentication framework. =head1 SYNOPSIS </code> </pre> And I suspect this is either EUMM or MI's fault for parsing out only the first line, but reporting here because I don't really understand the mechanism that does it yet, and you can either opt to fix it at your level ( by changing Makefile.PL or the POD ), or punt the problem to EUMM/MI to fix properly. Thanks.
Further inspection seems to indicate EUMM is to blame: https://metacpan.org/source/MSCHWERN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.62/lib/ExtUtils/MM_Unix.pm#L2604 ^ no implicit support for \n in the abstract .
Thanks for noticing and the bug report. This is fixed in git, and will be in the next release.
