META.yml

  • META.yml is now used by the PAUSE indexer
  • Contains metadata pertaining to the distribution
  • Current Specification version is 1.3
  • Can create your own by hand
    • Makefile.PL - use 'NO_META' or make dist will ignore it
  • Can be auto-generated:
$> make dist

OR

$> ./Build distmeta
  • May need to add entries to conform with the current specs
