Is anyone aware of any existing code (aside from YAML) for grocking META.yml?
I've got an itch. Aside from user side software tests, I'm also somewhat addicted to developer tests (Test::Strict, Test::Pod, etc) to make sure I'm not making stupid typo mistakes every time I upload a new version of a module.
More than once now I've fubared my META.yml just enough that CPAN/Kobesearch won't touch it. I'd like to remedy that problem with a simple Test::META to check my syntax every time I make changes.
There is my unpublished CPAN::Metadata at:
svn co http://svn.versiondude.net/randys/CPAN-Metadata/trunk/ CPAN-Metadata
It reads, writes, and validates metadata according to the spec. It still needs a bit of work, and updates to the actual spec need to be formalized before it will be usefull.
