[Padre-dev] [Padre-commit] rev 938 - in projects/Task-Padre-Plugins: . lib/Task/Padre

[Adam Kennedy]

The only keys in META.yml that is considered authorative by the
CPAN.pm is configure_requires, and additionally for the indexer things
like no_index.

Everything else is advisory, because to get accurate metadata we need
to execute Makefile.PL.

Versions come from the Makefile.PL, which typically pull it from the .pm file.
