I would say it shouldn't self-reference. > I've been away from the recent Perl trends for a while, so I'm not sure who > is at fault here: CPAN.pm or Dist::Zilla (or some plugin to generate META > file)? Your tarball doesn't include the dist.ini, nor does it include a reference to the repository. I do know that the META files and the Makefile.PL are not matching each other, which probably means your dzil setup is broken and wrong. This may also explain why it used to work (Makefile.PL writes a MYMETA which doesn't include the circular dependency). Leon
