| Subject: | Unskip META.yml when creating distribution tarball |
Hello,
The module's meta information, contained in the META.yml file, is very helpful for other tools to work out what dependencies the module has, so that automated testing and installation procedures work effectively. The attached patch (submitted as a pull request here: https://github.com/dsteinbrunner/app-cli/pull/2) removes the META.yml entry from the MANIFEST.SKIP file, thus allowing it to be included in future releases.
If there's anything I can do to help get this change applied and a new release uploaded to CPAN, please let me know. If it makes things easier for you, I could become a co-maintainer and then update and release the dist as necessary.
Kind regards,
Paul

Subject: [PATCH] Unskip META.yml
The file `META.yml` is required in Perl distributions so that
CPAN-related tools can work more efficiently. Hence, this file should
not be skipped and should be added the `MANIFEST` and dist tarball the
next time this dist is released.
