Subject: MYMETA.* should not be in tarball
The Astro-units-1.00 tarball contains MYMETA.json and MYMETA.yml, see http://cpansearch.perl.org/src/SPAJAI/Astro-units-1.00/ These files should be generated on the machine where the distribution is about to be built, so should not be part of the tarball. Additionally it seems that the presence of these files makes it impossible to install the distribution using a CPAN installer (e.g. CPAN.pm): Output from '/bbbike/perl-5.22.2/bin/perl Makefile.PL': Generating a Unix-style Makefile Writing Makefile for Astro::Units Error opening 'MYMETA.json' for writing: Permission denied
