Hi there,

I'm making my way through the new edition of Intermediate Perl and arrived at a point where I could benefit from your insight. When using module-starter to create a module with ExtUtils::Makemaker, it works just fine. However, when using Module::Build, I get a warning that MYMETA files could not be created. Module::Build version is 0.4003, Module::Starter version is 1.60, and I have tried this on a Mac OSX Lion with Perl5.12, and on a RHEL5 with Perl5.16. Below is the code and output.

many thanks
