CPAN Meta YAML in Perl 5 Core Distribution
CPAN-Meta-YAML is a library whose purpose is to read and write a subset of YAML for CPAN Meta files. It is maintained on CPAN but is also included in the Perl 5 core distribution.
As of Mar 22 2015, CPAN-Meta-YAML's latest version is 0.014 and is PASSing all its tests as reported by CPAN testers (see below). Once Perl 5.22.0 is released in May, CPAN-Meta-YAML will be included in the next development release of Perl, 5.23.1, to be released in June. A branch in the Perl 5 distribution has been created to smoke-test the upgraded CPAN-Meta-YAML as part of that distribution: smoke-me/jkeenan/cpan-meta-yaml-upgrade-5.23.1.
The problem is that when we run Perl 5's own test suite, the inclusion of the upgraded CPAN-Meta-YAML causes a failure in a test file not directly associated with CPAN-Meta-YAML:
$> git checkout cpan-meta-yaml-upgrade-5.23.1
$> sh ./Configure -des -Dusedevel
$> make test_prep
$> cd t; ./perl harness -v porting/exec-bit.t; cd -
# Failed test 107 - Everything in Porting/exec-bit.txt has +x in repo at porting/exec-bit.t line 66
# Files missing exec bit:
# ../cpan/CPAN-Meta-YAML/t/tml
ok 1 - File ../Configure has shebang
ok 2 - tarball will chmod +x ../Configure
...
ok 106 - tarball will chmod +x ../t/TEST
not ok 107 - Everything in Porting/exec-bit.txt has +x in repo
Failed 1/107 subtests
Test Summary Report
-------------------
porting/exec-bit.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 107 Failed: 1)
Failed test: 107

Result: FAILDetermine why t/porting/exec-bit.t is failing and correct it. You will have to determine to what extent the problem lies in CPAN-Meta-YAML and to what extent it lies in the Perl 5 core distribution. Prepare patches as needed.
