This looks like a duplicate of #72585. When creating a new meta file, it first deletes the old one and then creates a new one, but it doesn't halt on failure. I guess it needs something that you're not giving it, though it's not entirely obvious to me what it is (it should be able to get dist_name and dist_version from module_name). Leon

Why would it create/overwrite META.yml - META.yml is the _source_ input file, not output file, isn't it ? also can it be related to my other problem with license ids https://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=79587 ? 2012/9/20 Leon Timmermans via RT <bug-Module-Build@rt.cpan.org> Show quoted text

Other way around. META.yml is built from information you give in Build.PL. It is generated as part of "Build distmeta" which is run as part of "Build dist".

I think I fixed it by fixing wrong license recursive_test_files=>1, dist_abstract=>'Amazon Glacier TreeHash algorithm', - license => 'Software::License::GPL_3', + license => 'gpl3', requires => { 'Digest::SHA' => 0, } i.e. problem now that M:B does not produce right error message in this case, but instead just complains about missing meta files.

As a slight advance on understanding this issue, I have logged an issue with CPAN::Meta. See Issue #45: Interaction with RT#79588 and auto-delete of META.*
