There was some META_MERGE data also added to the Makefile.PL, and no 
META.yml or META.json included in the distro.
I've just uploaded 0.54_01 yesterday, which contains MakeMaker-generated 
META.yml and META.json.

0,54_01 is looking good - Christian Walde's 5.16.3 Windows smoker (which was 
one of the "offending" machines) is back to normal.

That's ok. It's a worthwhile change ... and I'm now thinking it's probably 
not even that change that triggered the problem. (More likely the META_MERGE 
stuff in conjunction with the absence of META.json and META.yml.)
