I didn't say that accurately. The make dist target creates META.yml and
META.json from the dependencies declared in Makefile.PL, and includes them in
the distribution tar. Anything that installs from the tar, such as cpan and
cpanm, looks in META.json first to get the configure dependencies and ensure
they are installed before running Makefile.PL
