This does not help. If META.yml and META.json contain the correct requirement, then it can stil be a "use". But META.yml/json did not change in 2.017013.
Please see
https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#CONFIGURE_REQUIRES for a possible solution. And note that the EUMM version 6.52 requirement is only needed for the author when running "make dist", but not for the normal user installing the module. But to avoid unnecessary warnings it's probably better to write something like this (untested!):
($ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION >= 6.52 ? (CONFIGURE_REQUIRES => ...) : ()),
To test the change, do a "make distdir". The created directory should contain META.yml/json files which have the configuration requirements specified.
