  Sat Feb 09 11:59:12 2013 KENTNL [...] cpan.org - Ticket created
Subject: META.yml lacks ABSTRACT and LICENSE

For a general overview of this type of issue, http://blogs.perl.org/users/kentnl_kent_fredric/2012/05/ensure-abstract-and-license-fields-in-your-meta.html 

But the short of it is Makefile.PL could do with 2 additions in the next release, ( based on what I've read elsewhere in the module at least )

 

LICENSE => 'perl' , ABSTRACT => 'index a file from the BackPAN',  or possibly   LICENSE => 'perl' , ABSTRACT_FROM => 'lib/CPAN/ParseDistribution.pm'   Thanks.

Sure, its not a bug in the /code/, but its a miss-feature relative to the distribution, on similar level of importance as documentation "bugs".

Maybe you don't see justification in making a release just to fix metadata on the distribution, and thats fine, you can't expect old dists to have recent metadata.

But all the same,  I humbly request that you take this as a feature-request to keep in mind to improve upon when you intend to release next ( if at all ).
