Subject: | ./Build distmeta doesn't create META.yml |
Trying to build a local distribution of a module I created with
Module::Starter and ./Build dist complains about the lack of META.yml.
When I unpack the tarfile and run perl Build.PL, I get
ERROR: Missing required field 'dist_abstract' for metafile
Could not get valid metadata. Error is: Invalid metadata structure.
Could not create MYMETA files
I've been doing this:
perl Build.PL
./Build distcheck
./Build distmeta
./Build dist
If I run perl Makefile.PL; make dist it wraps up a META.yml file in the
tarball.
(RT seems to be the only way to ask a question - thanks)
