Although it creates a META.yml is probably not the one you want to use 
for DBD modules because it does not create a yml file containing:

build_requires:
   DBI: 1.21
configure_requires:
   DBI: 1.21

and if you don't include those, cpan testers may generate failures now 
when they don't have DBI.

BTW, as an aside, just spent the last hour looking at Devel::NYTProf 
output for one process in our application and it produced some 
interesting output highlighting some areas to look at for optimisation 
that was not so obvious via DProf. Thanks to Tim and Adam Kaplan for this.
