Putting it in the META.yml doesn't really do anything - that's a client-readable file full of meta-information that can be helpful to clients (e.g. CPAN.pm, or search.cpan.org, or a person browsing through an untarred module). It's not actually used during the build process, it's just generated during the 'dist' action. -KenThread Previous | Thread Next
