Oh yeah, and in my thrashing around I didn't realize that the error messages of mymeta-requires don't distinguish between a non-existent file and a file which is missing some <a href="http://search.cpan.org/~dagolden/CPAN-Meta/lib/CPAN/Meta/Spec.pm">required elements</a> In my tests, I was using a stripped-down version, thinking that would help me eliminate extra noise.<div>
<br></div><div>Interestingly, a malformed META file at least produces a parse error, which is more helpful than thinking the file is missing.</div><div><br></div><div>In my tests, I could get by with as few elements as:</div>
<div><br></div><div><div>{</div><div> "meta-spec" : {</div><div> "url" : "<a href="http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec">http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?CPAN::Meta::Spec</a>",</div>
<div> "version" : "2"</div><div> },</div><div> "name" : "some_name",</div><div> "prereqs" : {</div><div> "runtime" : {</div><div> "requires" : {</div>
<div> "CMD::Colors" : 0</div><div> }</div><div> }</div><div> },</div><div> "version" : "0"</div><div>}</div></div>
