incorrect files included

You distribution contains files MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json. These files should not be included into distribution - they are generated when installing. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net

A fair point ... those seem to have snuck into my MANIFEST file somehow. I've removed them, and also added a pattern into MANIFEST.SKIP to make sure they don't sneak back in. I'm surprised no CPAN Testers clients discovered this one. Does this make it difficult or impossible to install? I'm wondering if you think I should make a new release just for this change, or if I should just let it show up in the next version.

Sometimes CPAN clients behave incorrectly when these files are present, so if you don't plan a release soon, it is worth doing it just for this change. -- Alexandr Ciornii, http://chorny.net
