That was my guess too, when looking at it last night. But then I noticed that the .13 release is similar, so I decided to sleep on it. I just looked at the Changes file for CPAN::Meta, and there have been some changes / bug fixes related to handling of provides. So maybe the version being used by PAUSE when the .13 release was fine with that? I just checked the spec (CPAN::Meta::Spec), which says that the "file" key is required (https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec#file1). Can you do a .16 release please Steve, with a file: key for each module listed in the provides: section. Neil
