I hit send too soon! I should have added: you can ensure that a META.yml is included in the distribution by: 'perl Makefile.PL; make dist' and uploading the tarball that is produced. You shouldn't ever be manually tarring up the repository directory and shipping that. And footnote added to above: * I don't think this should cause an effect, at least. But it seems to be for the smoker reports you've received. Perhaps someone more familiar with the smoker setup can shed some light here.
