I'm using mbtiny and Minilla to build and release my module to github and CPAN. I've been reading (and re-reading) Minilla::Tutorial and App-ModuleBuildTiny to figure out how to use these tools.

I noticed that the new version of my upload to CPAN wasn't showing up as the latest version. I found that the newest version of meta.yml has the old version as the latest. I found the problem is that meta.yml is generated by mbtiny but then when I run minil release it prompts me to bump up the version. That means meta.yml doesn't get bumped up to the new rev and shows the old revision as the latest.

My solution for now is to run minil release a second time without increasing the revision. Minilla has to have a comment for the new rev in the changes file but it doesn't require an actual increase in the revision level to do the release.

I'm wondering if there is a way to get Minilla to run mbtiny after the rev is bumped up. Does anyone here have experience with Minilla and mbtiny? Is there an easier alternative to these two?

Update: My workaround of releasing a second time without bumping up the version doesn't work.
