Hi all.
I've started to use PAR::Dist::FromCPAN to create standalone repository
for my project, but during
compilation of some modules it fails. Some analysis show that this
modules do not have proper META.yml
file but have META.json. In building time as I can see some data from
this META.json are stored in MYMETA.yml.
In the code CPAN::Distribution module I have read that " # if MYMETA.yml
exists, that takes precedence over META.yml".
So I've wrote small patch to fix problem with installation.
