I could swear I sent it to the list, but it appears that I forgot. The only thing I would add is the reason this is suddenly coming up now: generating MYMETA.yml is done only by new-ish versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker (it started for me with perl 5.14, which just hit debian unstable recently). The file just contains extra information about the environment and arguments to the Makefile-building process, and can be safely deleted. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
