| 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.
