Subject: add no_index for examples to prevent CPAN pollution
The examples directory has a done of module-looking things in it. You need to add "no_index" entry to your META.yaml file to indicate that modules in the t and examples directory should not be indexed by the CPAN indexer (or search.cpan and so on).
Hi, I'd like to do what you proposed - but the META.yml is generated, and unfortunately ExtUtils::MakeMaker has no facility for passing a no_index parameter. Module::Build allows to pass such a parameter, and maybe some later version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker does, too. Writing META.yml by hand is not an option, as it burdens extra work on the maintainer (me ;-) for every release. I'll leave the ticket open - maybe SOAP::Lite switches to Module::Build some day, and then I will be reminded of the issue. Regards, Martin
