When I put a module together, there are two things that I double-check. First, I make sure that it's in the Makefile.PL: `( ExtUtils::MakeMaker->VERSION() gt '5.50' ? ('LICENSE' => 'perl') : () ),` [download] Second, before I run `make dist`, I check the Meta.yml. The license must be specified there: `ExtUtils::MakeMaker: 6.42 distribution_type: module generated_by: 'Module::Install version 0.91' license: perl` [download] Then run `make dist`	[reply] [d/l] [select]

This Makefile.PL ends with a call to `WriteAll`. I don't see where to put such arguments.	[reply] [d/l]

If you're not dealing with MakeMaker, look up to see what you are dealing with, probably Module::Install, http://search.cpan.org/~adamk/Module-Install-1.00/lib/Module/Install.pod#license	[reply]
