As an aside, this is why I think MYMETA.yml should be generated with dynamic_config false, as it *is* authoritatively as it is generated by *.PL after resolving any dynamic dependencies. :-) I prefer to have dynamic_config mandatory, but agree that if not mandatory, it should be removed and replaced with (optional) static_config instead. A hidden "default 1" is madness. So +1 in that we have to do *something* other than status quo. -- David
