Module::Install::TrustMetaYml3pm

Usage

        trust_meta_yml;

Overview

CPAN doesn't trust "META.yml"'s list of dependencies for a module. Instead it expects "Makefile.PL" run on the computer the package is being installed upon to generate its own list of dependencies (called "MYMETA.yml" or "MYMETA.json").

This module is a Module::Install plugin that generates "MYMETA.yml" by simply passing through the dependencies from "META.yml".

It does nothing when run from the module author's development copy.

The module defines two functions which are aliases for each other:

"trust_meta_yml"

"trust_meta_yaml"

Credits

Thanks to Chris Williams (BINGOS), Ingy döt Net (INGY) and Florian Ragwitz (FLORA) for explaining the role of "MYMETA.json", and helping me figure out why mine weren't working.
