Looking at this again, I see I missed the return in 
_write_minimal_metadata() which should be something like

return ++$self->{wrote_metadata};

That function could be named something better, maybe 
_write_degenerate_metadata().

Maybe a better patch would refactor all the dist stuff into a module, 
say M::B::Distribution, that would be responsible for collecting and 
deducing info about the dist, producing tarballs, etc. And the metadata 
stuff could be collected in M::B::Distribution::Metadata which would 
handle gathering metadata for generation of META.yml and PPD files, and 
would later likely become a proxy or interface to the metadata module 
you mentioned.

I'll hold on that for now; I've been procrastinating on another little 
problem I said I'd look into.

Regards,
Randy.
