Bug #91156 for perl-ldap: Add META.* file for MetaCPAN

Tue Dec 03 15:21:51 2013 josh.anderson [...] me.com - Ticket created

Subject:

Add META.* file for MetaCPAN

MetaCPAN can't provide dependency information for perl-ldap due to the lack of a META.yml/META.json file. (See https://github.com/CPAN-API/metacpan-web/issues/1012) Please add a meta file to assist those of us who are using the MetaCPAN API to obtain information about modules/distributions. Thanks! =)

Thanks for the report. If you look at the perl-ldap's Makefile.PL you find that it has lots of optional parts. Any help on how to represent this information in META.{json,yml} is welcome. When I run Module::Install in author mode, the resulting META.* contain all dependenies as 'required', which I do not think is correct considering that large parts are optional. (and hand-editing the file can only be the 2nd-best solution ,-) Best Peter
