   • Build dependency of libyaml-perl.

3. Security:

   • CVE entries: None

   • Secunia history: None

   • Any binaries running as root or suid/sgid ? Any daemons ? No

   • Debian bugs: None

   • Maintenance in Debian is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? vigorous

   • Upstream is frenetic/vigorous/calm/dead ? I haven't contacted upstream. http://search.cpan.org/~barbie/?R=D shows that the last upload was in 20th of August. So, I believe upstream is still active.

8. Background information:

   • The general purpose and context of the package should be clear from the package's debian/control file. If it isn't then please explain.
   • What do upstream call this software ? Test-CPAN-Meta Has it had different names in the past ? It used to be Test-YAML-Meta.
