Heh - show me a test for only.pm in Module::Build's regression tests, 
and that would help me never show you a failing test. =)

Anyway, patches are no good for already-released software - there will 
still be buggy combinations out there if such bugs are found by others.

For instance, bug: with version 0.25, if only.pm can't find a 'version' 
in get_meta(), it will die regardless of whether the user supplied a 
'version' argument.

It's also possible for the 'distribution_name' key to be null in your 
meta-file, because it's never checked for success.

I'm not trying to pick on your work, I'm just saying that it's hard to 
write bug-free (or bug-rare) software without a few releases of it, and 
that's why I'm saying it's "volatile" at this point.  Later it will 
become "mature", no doubt.

Actually, were you objecting to my use of the word "volatile", or that 
I required version 0.25 of only?
