I've finally patched this in, sorry for taking so long. I took a different route following Module::Build's example. Rather than have users override a method, they can supply META_ADD and META_MERGE, like Module::Build's meta_add and meta_merge attributes, to add/override or merge in more metadata. There shouldn't be any need for overriding the methods. Rather than repurpose EXTRA_META, it's now gone. The work you did on the dumper was splendid. I made a few formatting tweaks to make the key length stuff a bit smarter, it now figures out a good length automatically.
