Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaYAML::Minimal Generally, if you're creating both "META.json" and "META.yml", then you're doing so purely for compatibility reasons. In such circumstances, using the same meta-data for both leads to a lot of cruft in "META.yml" This "Dist::Zilla" extension is for such circumstances. However, if you are *only* shipping "META.yml" and NOT "META.json", then using this extension would be harmful and cause loss of information. Presently, this extension is a *PROTOTYPE*, and just culls fields leading with "x_" passed by "Dist::Zilla". The final behavior may require enhancements to "CPAN::Meta::Converter" and might be possibly superseded by patches to "MetaYAML" itself. INSTALLATION This is a Perl module distribution.
