MakeMaker and Module::Build generate meta files a little differently.
In MakeMaker, the META files are only included in your distribution.
They will not appear in your source directory. This was done back when
the META files were introduced to hide them from fuddy-duddy
distributions and people who'd complain about having their files
rewritten etc... etc... Out of sight, out of mind.
This does have the odd side effect of the MANIFEST in your source
directory differing from the MANIFEST in your distribution directory.
But rest assured, the META files are being shipped.
I'm going to set this to rejected as it's working as designed. Please
reply if you want to continue the conversation.
