33. Install Meta files and make them queryable Proposal: Using something like .packlist or File::ShareDir, the Meta file should be installed along with the distribution and Meta tools should allow easy querying of meta information for installed modules. (Dagolden)
Comments: * Lots of meta information is unavailable in a structured way after a distribution is installed. By installing the Meta file (e.g. in auto/meta/Foo-Bar/META.yml) we retain it after installation and can make it available for other tools. (Dagolden) * Should the installed meta be identical to the Meta file in the distribution or should it be stored in a neutral format (e.g Data::Dumper)? (Dagolden) * I'd be happy to just install the MYMETA.yml file as is. Perhaps it could be extended slightly to create a "packlist 2.0" type file, it's been a long time since packlists have been reviewed. -- Adam K
