I just posted a bug for YAML that affects M::B's creation of META.yml
files.
http://rt.cpan.org/NoAuth/Bug.html?id=4066
YAML's Dump method doesn't respect whether a scalar is a string or a
number, so trailing zeros on version numbers are dropped when reading
.yml files. See the above URL for a very simple failing example.
I haven't yet thought of a workaround that doesn't involve changes to
YAML.pm.
Hi Chris,
Yeah, this is an unfortunate bug in YAML. Apparently there's a new
version of YAML.pm that Brian's been working on, and it's been released
in a preliminary version at
http://search.cpan.org/~ingy/YAML-Parser-Syck-0.01/ .
Fortunately the YAML we emit is correct, and it's only YAML.pm reading
it back in that's buggy. So we don't actually need to fix any bugs in
Module::Build or rely on Brian's new parser.
