I have to agree. I did run out of energy to do this, myself, and resorted
to stick this (with variations if nec.) into all my Makefile.PLs:
sub MY::metafile {
package MY;
my $self = shift;
if (!eval { require YAML; 1 })
{
warn ("YAML not installed, 'make dist' will not override
'META.yml'.");
return $self->SUPER::metafile_target(@_);
};
my $node = new YAML::Node {};
$node->{name} = $self->{DISTNAME};
$node->{abstract} = $self->{ABSTRACT};
$node->{version} = $self->{VERSION};
$node->{version_from} = $self->{VERSION_FROM};
$node->{license} = 'gpl';
$node->{distribution_type} = 'module';
$node->{generated_by} = "$self->{DISTNAME} version
$self->{VERSION}";
$node->{installdirs} = 'site';
$node->{requires} = $self->{PREREQ_PM};
my $dump = YAML::Dump( $node );
$dump =~ s/^(.*)$/\t\$(NOECHO) \$(ECHO) "$1" >>META.yml/gm;
$dump =~ s/>>META\.yml/>META.yml/;
return "metafile:\n$dump";
}
Needless code duplication, I know, but currently this is easier than to
try to fix MM myself...
Best wishes,
Tels
