I've extended the script a bit at:

   <http://thepierianspring.org/perl/meta/>

I'm not at all sure about the results of the simple/complex scan, or my 
integration of that code...

I've converted to html. Nothing pretty; I'm not a web guy. But there are 
now links, so you can drill down in to see what distribution is doing 
what, including links back to the original source file (META.yml, etc) 
on CPAN.

Some of the "Installers" (as determined by the generated_by field in 
META.yml) need to be grouped under misc, to clean up things. Also, there 
a some links that don't work because of some decisions I made back when 
this was just a ~60-80 one-off script to find out how META.yml was being 
used.
