Hi all,

Trying to build the module in $SUBJECT, but hitting an error message that I suspect is simple environment setup problem, but ultimately not sure.

Here is the error message 

Creating new 'Build' script for 'Module-Build-XSUtil' version '0.06'
load_file() requires a valid, readable filename at Build.PL line 56

[download]

I look at Build.PL and line 56 has: 

my $mbmeta = CPAN::Meta->load_file('MYMETA.json');

[download]

MYMETA.json is not in the module file manifest so it leads me to think this is an issue, but it does not look like it has ever been in the manifest looking at a couple of old versions on github.

I am running perl 5.10 on a linux box. Since there may be another reason as to why the module build is failing, the full build is below.

Thanks for any help
