  The same happened to me once.  It seems caused by the mismatch of
the the pod NAME (in this case "Software::License::Mozilla") and the
module/package name (in this case "Software::License::Mozilla_1_1").

No.

There's nothing badly-formed about something that doesn't have a
META.yml.  Plenty of stuff on the CPAN pre-dates it, and as recent
discussion on this 'ere list have shown, it is poorly specified and
documented.
