Bug #71106 for WWW-Mechanize-GZip: empty META.yml

Hi, This is still a problem in the latest WWW-Mechanize-GZip-0.13 release (2018-07-16) as the META.yml in the distribution is still empty. I'm not sure how Peter is generating the distribution, but a simple `make dist` should already generate the release tarball along with the META.* files, provided that the CPAN::Meta module is installed on the host machine.[1] [1]: https://metacpan.org/pod/ExtUtils::MakeMaker#Module-Meta-Data-(META-and-MYMETA I've attached META.* files here from a local `make distdir` of 0.13 for reference. Cheers, Zak
