  Tue Mar 25 09:58:10 2014 perl [...] toby.ink - Ticket created
Subject: taint.t requires Perl 5.8
taint.t requires version 5.8 of Perl. Module::Metadata runs fine on Perl 5.6, but the test case itself requires a Perl 5.8 feature. This could be resolved by skipping the test case if $] < 5.008. Module::Metadata is required for Module::Build to be installed into Perl 5.6, which in turn is required for lots of other stuff, so it's pretty important to have it installable. I mentioned this to ether on IRC a week or so ago, and she said it could be fixed. However, I think she may have forgotten about it, so reporting it here.

I think this should be fixed in the repository now with a patch by haarg: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/Module-Metadata/commit/698048aae1e0dc6b392843feab394f8eb0d28fa5 Let me know if this is insufficient (or better, provide a PR) :)
