Summary

PPI 1.218 changed augmented assignment operators (||=, &&=, <<=, etc.) to be parsed as single tokens instead of two. Perl::Critic < 1.122 relied on the old two-token parsing behavior and breaks with this change (see Perl-Critic/Perl-Critic#585).

This adds x_breaks metadata to META.json/META.yml declaring the incompatibility, and generates a test (t/zzz-check-breaks.t) that warns users at test time if they have an incompatible version installed.

Fixes #89

Changes

  • Add [Breaks] section to dist.ini declaring Perl::Critic < 1.122 as incompatible
  • Add [Test::CheckBreaks] plugin to generate t/zzz-check-breaks.t in the built distribution
  • Add xt/author/check-breaks.t to verify x_breaks metadata is present in the build

Test plan

  • dzil build produces META.json with x_breaks: { "Perl::Critic": "< 1.122" }
  • Auto-generated t/zzz-check-breaks.t passes and warns if incompatible Perl::Critic is installed
  • xt/author/check-breaks.t validates x_breaks metadata is present
  • Full test suite passes (69 files, 53081 tests)

Author test verifies that META.json declares x_breaks for modules
known to be incompatible with PPI. Currently fails as $TODO because
the breaks are not yet declared in dist.ini.

See: #89
