Re: CPAN Tests Failing

I've tried to reproduce the issue locally, on multiple machines, but I always get a pass.

Please confirm that you tried installing this from CPAN yourself and what method you used.

I tried installing it, and I noticed some warnings:

cpan WWW::Shopify

...

WARNING: the following files are missing in your kit:
        MYMETA.json
        MYMETA.yml
Please inform the author.
[download]

When I click on a link from the MANIFEST for MYMETA.json, I get this error:

Not Found

The requested URL /src/ADAMDH/WWW-Shopify-0.11/MYMETA.json was not fou
+nd on this server.
[download]

I'm not saying that is the root of your problem, but that does seem strange.

Indeed; this isn't related, but it's still a problem. MYMETA.(yml\|json) should not be bundled with the distribution, and should not be listed in MANIFEST. q.v. What are the files in a CPAN distribution? `package Cow { use Moo; has name => (is => 'lazy', default => sub { 'Mooington' }) } say Cow->new->name`	[reply]

I don't know about the current state of art regarding module metadata, but I think the `MYMETA.*` files are not supposed to be redistributed at all. They seem to be generated whenever `Makefile.PL` is run and record the (then) current state of affairs. ... but still, when doing local tests by using `make disttest`, these warnings should appear and be eliminated.
