Subject: Does not generate META.yml, and bad VERSION_FROM
Digest::MD5 does not yet generate a META.yml, dunno how bad that exactly is... But on another note, Digest::MD5 does not specify a minimum Perl dependency, except in the Changes file (which says 5.6) and you have a VERSION_FROM pointing to said file without a version dep in it.

What works better if I add that file? I have not seen any good reason to put it in. Show quoted text

The Makefile.PL do check this. How would it help to have it in the module itself too? I don't get what the problem with the VERSION_FROM is. The version number for the distribution is certainly picked up from the specified file.

Mostly what will work better are the various systems that do metadata-based analysis of CPAN as a whole (both existing and more to come) Show quoted text

Ack, I thinking backwards here. Sorry, too long with MI. Of course VERSION_FROM is the version dependency, and not the Perl version dependency. In that case, what it's missing use just a use 5.006; or require 5.006; as nothing in the module other than the Changes file states that the the 5.006 dependency actually exists. Thanks Adam K

For example, search.cpan.org will show module license, if it is put in Makefile.PL: ($ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION ge '6.30_00'? ('LICENSE' => 'perl', ) : ()), -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
I've applied that patch from RT#30348
