  Looks very interesting. how do you plan on versioning? e.g. if it's based on perl-5.22.1, and you release cperl-5.22.1, but then need to make fixes etc, would it be cperl-5.22.1.1? Also is it stable/production ready? I've not had a chance...

  You can also install libimage-magick-perl version 6.8.9.9 with apt.

  A more recent version (6.9.2.10) is available in experimental, so it should land in unstable sooner or later.

  All the best

  toml is great for your private config files, but we need to solve YAML mess for perl5 core.
  Given that libyaml is broken and YAML.pm is broken, we are only left with YAML::Syck and YAML::Tiny (CPAN::Meta::YAML).
  Next blog post about fixing libsyck and merging with upstream.

  Fixed the first part $YAML::XS::IndentlessMap with https://github.com/rurban/yaml-libyaml-pm/commit/7f1af737489f11cdd9f7139fe989c0f4d4fbc004

  Now only $YAML::XS::NonStrict is needed to pass the validator tests, and YAML.pm needs to accept YAML::XS IndentlessMap.

  And with the latest commit in https://github.com/rurban/yaml-libyaml-pm/commits/cperl-core
  YAML::XS is back again in the modern ages.

  Add native DumpFile, LoadFile
  support filename in error messages.
  Add dumper options: Indent, BestWidth, Canonical, Unicode,
  Encoding, LineBreak, OpenEnded (kept defaults)
  Add loader option: NonStrict, Encoding (kept defaults)

  Fix default emitter_set_width (2 => 80)

  Is this improvement available on CPAN, too?
