The 'problem' is that this field was introduced in 1.1, and it seems
that quite a lot of dists use 1.0 of META-spec.
My question basically is: What is the 'stable' version of META-spec? I
guess I'll post this on the module-build list...

Hmm, I tried to do that (I usually use Module::Build):
~$ module-starter --module=FooTest --author='foo' --email='[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
Created starter directories and files
~$ cd FooTest/
~/FooTest$ perl Makefile.PL

I'm using ExtUtils::MakeMaker 6.31
But the META.yml in MakeMaker confroms to META-spec 1.2, so if you use the same
tools to generate MakeMakers META.yml it should work:
