Hi David

IMHO, a spec is a spec.  If the next version of the spec says it can
be a list or a scalar, then fine, but only then and only if the
META.yml claims that spec.  But if the spec says it should be a list,
then it should be a list and Module::Install has a bug.

From my point of view, as a module author, the spec has the bug in it.

Yes, META.yml is auto-generated (since I never create one myself), but nevertheless, if I am creating one I should not be forced to supply an array for a single value. That's ridiculous, i.e. un-Perlish, or more formally, it violates the Principle of Least Surprise.
