Bug #93072 for Parse-CPAN-Meta: failure: utf8 does not map to Unicode

CC:	rjbs [...] cpan.org, ether [...] cpan.org
Subject:	failure: utf8 does not map to Unicode

The .yml file attached is derived from the test suite for CPAN distribution Module-Install. When Module-Install's v1.06 was recently tested against Perl 5 blead, a failure emerged in that distro's t/20_authors_with_special_characters.t. Reported at: http://www.cpantesters.org/cpan/report/aa51b0e6-9619-11e3-9bb1-f0615d7e0655 That led to https://rt.perl.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=121262 Module-Install makes extensive use of the quasi-deprecated Parse::CPAN::Meta::Loadfile(). The failure can be triggered simply by using that function to try to read the .yml file attached. $ perl -MParse::CPAN::Meta -e '@yaml = Parse::CPAN::Meta::LoadFile( q|module_install_t20_META.yml| );'Error reading from file 'module_install_t20_META.yml': utf8 "\xE9" does not map to Unicode at /usr/local/lib/perl5/site_perl/5.18.0/Parse/CPAN/Meta.pm line 97. at -e line 1. Thank you very much. Jim Keenan

This appears to be fixedc by Parse::CPAN::Meta v1.4412. ##### $ perl -MData::Dumper -MParse::CPAN::Meta -e '@yaml = Parse::CPAN::Meta::LoadFile( q|module_install_t20_META.yml| );$Data::Dumper::Indent=1;print Dumper(\@yaml);' $VAR1 = [ { 'name' => 'Foo', 'dynamic_config' => '1', 'no_index' => { 'directory' => [ 'inc' ] }, 'version' => '0.01', 'license' => 'perl', 'requires' => { 'perl' => '5.005' }, 'distribution_type' => 'module', 'author' => [ 'Olivier Mengu\\xE9' ], 'resources' => { 'license' => 'http://dev.perl.org/licenses/' }, 'build_requires' => { 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' => '6.36' }, 'configure_requires' => { 'ExtUtils::MakeMaker' => '6.36' }, 'meta-spec' => { 'version' => '1.4', 'url' => 'http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.4.html' }, 'abstract' => undef, 'generated_by' => 'Module::Install version 1.06' } ]; ##### Closing ticket.
