So first I saw this when I woke up this morning and checked my feeds. I muttered to myself that I’d need to patch JSON::Any soon and then a coworker pointed out this. All of which is to say:
JSON::Any 1.16 is heading to the CPAN mirrors as we speak. It includes Simon Wistow’s patch for supporting both versions of JSON::Any, as well as some minor documentation clean up and a tweak to the Makefile.PL logic so that you really have to work at it to install JSON::Any without a JSON package.
Hopefully this will make everything better.
(*) Apparently there was a rant/discussion about this on #london.pm this morning which lead to Simon Wistow’s patch and Acme’s Release … all of which I sadly missed until after the fact.
