Gosh, you'd think I'd check to see if a bug was fixed before reporting it,
wouldn't I?  The dh-make-perl from subversion seems be working fine for my
test cases, it's only the dh-make-perl that comes with etch (0.25) that
coughs and dies on Module::Install without trying to look at the META.yml.

I still think that using the META.yml as a first attempt is better and
safer, and will provide a patch to do this.

Cheerio,

	Paul
