That's the same bug for sure, choroba:
This GitHub bug#7 was reported for Moo 2.004000 in 2020
I am confused about what decisions have been made (that is, the reasons for those
decisions) to not fix a bug that was reported in 2020 (!). And tonight is the first
time I've heard of a distroprefs patch. I'll do some Google research and
figure it out, or not, but in any event thanks much choroba for rescuing me from
submitting a bug report that would just duplicate one already made.

Ok choroba, having helped me out, your reward is more questions ;-) You wrote:
This comment contains a link to a distroprefs patch.
So, I attempted to learn about distroprefs on my own (how did I not know about this?
it's a mystery–I have used cpan for a long time). I read
this short article by brian d
foy. I'm setting things up according to the instructions. My remaining question
is: where's the actual patch? Can I get it from github (I looked around, I'm
still rather clumsy with github)? The yaml file linked to in the comment is 1/2 of what I
need, the patch is the other 1/2. If you you can guide me I'll send you cookies
(well not really but I will be grateful). If I have to, I'll make a patch myself,
so, not a big deal.

Aha, ok, Thank you choroba. I should have been able to figure that out, but the
partial path deceived me. Before receiving your reply I made up a patch locally.
... Good lord, this worked! I must show the console/tty output I got, because I
am so amazed and delighted that such a complex-seeming apparatus actually worked on my
trouble-prone system:
Applying 1 patch:
C:/Users/somia/Documents/Patches/Distroprefs/Module-Manifest-Skip-SOMIAN.patch
D:/SBP/c/bin/patch.exe -N --fuzz=3 -p1
patching file lib/Module/Manifest/Skip.pm
This is pretty cool stuff. Who invented the distroprefs for CPAN.pm?
