Due to lots of critism of the name, Adam created Parse::CPAN::Meta to specifically parse CPAN META.yml files, without upsetting the YAML people. At some point PCM is hoped to go into core. As a shameless self plug, you can also test your META.yml with Test::CPAN::Meta, which uses Parse::CPAN::Meta internally :) Barbie. -- Birmingham Perl Mongers - http://birmingham.pm.org Memoirs Of A Roadie - http://barbie.missbarbell.co.uk
