I've got a M::B subclass that forces itself into configure_requires. This
subclass also uses version.pm. Parse::CPAN::Meta cannot handle the resulting
META.yml (example attached), which means that current CPANPLUS cannot install
any distribution that uses my subclass.
I filed a bug against Parse::CPAN::Meta:
https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=46148. This is Adam's response:
This is not a bug in Parse::CPAN::Meta.
The "YAML Tiny" subset of YAML that is used for META.yml forbids the use
of anchors or embedded objects (regardless of whether they are
version.pm or otherwise).
This is a bug in Module::Build, it forgot to serialize the version
object in configure_requires before writing it into the META.yml.
Module::Build should probably do this in the general case anyway,
objects shouldn't be getting past it into the file.
So, what's the prevailing opinion on this?
