Following my venture into META.yml land last week, I was surprised there wasn't already a distribution on CPAN that already validated against the specs. Even CPANTS only makes a cursory look at the file. So I started writing module that could at least validate the file against the specifications referenced online.
Test-YAML-Meta should be hitting a CPAN mirror near you shortly as a consequence of my efforts over the weekend.
For the META.yml files I've produced it appears to work, but I may not have the specification definitions accurate. If you have an unusual META.yml file, I'd be interested to hear if this distribution does/doesn't work with it. If it doesn't, then I'd be interested to know whether it meets the specification. If doesn't work and meets the specification, can I add it to my test suite?
The name seemed appropriate at the time, but I'm willing to hear of better suggestions. I'll be resisting any change to Test-YAML-META though, as META is not an acronym.
Feedback and thoughts welcome.
I now have a Test module on CPAN, yah!
