Fedora Project

• Updated perl-Module-Runtime to 0.016 in Rawhide:

  • Port t/taint.t to Perl 5.27.5, where re-requiring an already-loaded module doesn't trigger tainting

  • Skip t/taint.t if the perl empirically doesn't perform taint checks but the script got run anyway (which happens with an unsupported configuration of the Perl core that some people are using in the absence of a supported no-taint configuration)

  • In t/taint.t, use $^X rather than $ENV{PATH} as the primordial tainted value to taint a string being tested

  • In documentation, use four-column indentation for all verbatim material

  • In META.{yml,json}, point to public bug tracker

  • In META.json, specify type of public repository
