That's Module::Build::ModuleInfo. It doesn't know about this 'class'
keyword and therefore doesn't see a package or version for Net::Topsy.

Yeah. You'll want some 'provides' data in META.yml for PAUSE. Or else
you'll get this stuff:

Hard to say what you should do about it. M::B::ModuleInfo is a very
basic static parser (and has to run on the install target -- not just
the developer machine, so e.g. PPI isn't an easy option.)
You could write your 'provides' data (like you do your version) manually
in the Build.PL (I *think* that works -- maybe involving meta_merge).
Or maybe write me that moose compiler I want, then you can use it to do
some introspection and save-out some bit of data which gets slurped
into the M::B->new() call.
