LWP-Protocol-socks doesn't have an install script, CPAN metadata

I was briefly flummoxed when LWP-Protocol-socks didn't install out of the box with CPAN: looks like the reason is that there's no Build.PL or META.yaml. (I'm running a somewhat old version of perl and CPAN.pm; apologies if the latest version is smart enough to extract all this automatically, or something.) I'm attaching a Build.PL that seems to do the trick, and as a bonus should generate a META.yml that'll tell CPAN.pm about the module dependencies.

FYI, I'll be out of office Wed and Thu of this week. I will have cell phone access in a pinch, but limited, if any, computer access until Saturday. Here are my backups: · 7.1 - Dave is RTL and will run morning syncup, Ali can help with beta env issues · 6.1 - Con is RTL, but engaged on Fedex, but Ali will run follow-up meetings - if we complete the off-cycles today, we may not need them, but they are scheduled 10:30 as usual for the rest of the week. · Fedex - Con is the lead while Boris is out · Ops - Ali is point of contact for ops-related issues · Vday setup - Leishi can answer questions regarding the status of new edit machine verification · IndexTools - Paul is PM, Dave is Tech Lead -SCR

I'm still using 5.6.1 and don't know much about the Build.PL - I did add the META.yml in 1.1 - will that fix your issue?
