Test::YAML::Meta

DESCRIPTION

Validation of the META.yml file in a distribution.

This module was written to ensure that a META.yml file, provided with a standard distribution uploaded to CPAN, meets the specifications that slowly being introduced to module uploads, via the use of ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build and Module::Install.

Current CPAN META Specification, 2.0, was finally approved in April 2010, which forms the basis for the contents of a META.json file. The full specification is now included with the CPAN-Meta distribution.
