Ok. So, there's an AUTHOR_META.yml or something which gets merged into
the constructor arguments. Except now you have to have that file and
the latest M::B on the install machine. But that only takes care of
the author's side of things.
Are you wanting to modify the constructor arguments on the install side?
Maybe some code would clarify your goal.
