So why not cut out the middleman and just use the Build.PL?
Oh I remember, you want something which can be read quickly and without
needing an eval().
But - if the Build.PL is there as human-readable source code, then the
argument about the generated metadata file being human-readable goes
away. The generated file (YAML or whatever) would be read only by
machine, a human would surely go straight to the Build.PL. Or have I
got this the wrong way round?
