daxim has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have Module::Starter 1.42 and Module::Build 0.2808. Signing the MANIFEST bumps down the META.yml version number. Can anyone confirm this? 
$ module-starter -mb -mo Local::Example
[...]

$ cd Local-Example/

$ perl Build.PL
[...]

$ grep -A2 meta-spec META.yml
meta-spec:
  url: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.3.html
  version: 1.3

$ ./Build distsign
Deleting META.yml
Creating META.yml
[...]

$ grep -A2 meta-spec META.yml
meta-spec:
  url: http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec-v1.2.html
  version: 1.2
