Michael, If I may insist, have you seen this patch? Of course, the version numbers need to be changed. But the patch still applies nicely to 6.30_03.

Subject: [IDEA] enhance EXTRA_META present in 6.30_01
To: makemaker@perl.org
The following patch extends EXTRA_META to accept hash refs as well it
already accepts YAML-formatted text.
This way I could write a Makefile.PL like
use 5.006;
use ExtUtils::MakeMaker;
WriteMakefile(
NAME => 'Foo',
VERSION => '42',
EXTRA_META => {
recommends => {
'Test::Pod' => '1.18',
'Test::Pod::Coverage' => '1.04',
}
}
);
But when you use this, YAML is required or else makemaker would croak
when creating the metafile. I think this may be fair since writing
META.yml is for developers and it is not triggered by "make ; make
test ; make install".
There is any chance for this to see the light of day? I say in the
form of 6.30_02 dist. The patch is against the CPAN code.
Best regards,
Adriano Ferreira
