Subject: Bogus META.yml with cyclic dependency
I think you want to get rid of the META.yml which seems to be outdated. The one that's shipped creates a cyclic dependency with Math::Random::MT::Auto. --Steffen

Outdated? How so? (Or are you just referring to what follows?) Show quoted text

Well, not exactly. While MRMA 'requires' OIO, OIO only 'recommends' using MRMA. So OIO is required, but MRMA is optional. Then again, I profess ignorance as to the proper specifications for such dependencies. Is there some reference I can access to gain greater insight on this issue?

Oooh, indeed, it's my oversight. META.yml and META.json do not contain the same information. That could be considered a bug somewhere, but likely not in your module. In the end, the particular problem is that our annoying build system promotes recommends to requires. I'll close the bug and work around the hate that is the RedHat/RPM/cpanspec based build system. Sorry for the noise! --Steffen
