It's the "META.yml" entry in the cpan MANIFEST files that causes the
build failure, not the presence of a yml file in the tarball itself.

The Perl Makefiles attempt to copy every file listed in the MANIFEST:
-e "manicopy(maniread(),'$(DISTVNAME)', '$(DIST_CP)');"

As "META.yml" is listed in the manifest but is not present at that point
in the build (it is generated later), manicopy() fails.

No.
