Yes, happened to me too a while ago. The minimal Makefile.PL I put
into most of the libwin32 modules now looks like this:
use strict;
use warnings;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
unless ($^O eq "MSWin32" || $^O eq "cygwin") {
die "OS unsupported\n";
}
my %param = (
NAME => 'Win32::Console',
VERSION_FROM => 'Console.pm',
);
$param{NO_META} = 1 if eval "$ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION" >= 6.10_03;
WriteMakefile(%param);
That keeps the META.yml untouched as long as you don't use an ancient
version of Perl for building your distribution.

It seems like Module::Build would be a good choice nowadays. I just don't
want to get side-tracked with it right now, but I'll certainly try moving
other modules to it.
