MYMETA Files Not Getting Packed

Are MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json not meant to be part of a perl package? I
admit to adding them to the MANIFEST without considering it. What I found
more interesting is that the MYMETA files were not included in the
package.

I'm assuming this is an out-right error -- even if the MYMETA files are
unnecessary, their presence in the MANIFEST file should at least merit a
warning, right?

Thanks,
