CCing cpan-testers-discuss because I'm stumped here.

Here <https://pastebin.com/CFW7Aqs5> is the raw output from running
perl-5.14.4/bin/cpan Archive::Tar::Wrapper

As you can see it fetches and untars the dist, runs Makefile.PL, which
correctly warns about the missing deps and does its usual dance. Here
<https://pastebin.com/XRiWqYmd> is the generated MYMETA.yml. But then
CPAN.pm doesn't spot that there are dependencies missing and carries on
to the 'make' and 'make test' phases, which then blows up.

I can't see anything especially weird in Makefile.PL that would cause
this. Anyone else got any idea?

This only happens in 5.14.4. I have test passes for 5.16 onwards, and
also for 5.8.9.

In 5.12, Makefile.PL dies thus:

Warning: prerequisite IPC::Run 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Log::Log4perl 0 not found.
Warning: prerequisite Test::Simple 1.302073 not found. We have 1.302059.
only nested arrays of non-refs are supported at
/home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.12.5/lib/5.12.5/ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm
line 664
(/home/david/cpantesting/perl-5.12.5/bin/perl Makefile.PL exited with
65280)

So I presume that there's something Odd in the metadata that only
affects some combinations of versions of CPAN.pm and EU::MM, but I can't
spot what it is.
