When a Perl distribution has no META.yml, you could generate one by running 
"make install" or "./Build install".

If you're worried about polluting your build space, you can probably use 
PREFIX. e.g. "make install PREFIX=/tmp/forget/me"

Then you can run dh-make-perl to extract relevant info from META.yml

[ Well, that's the theory, I've not tested that ]

Thoughts ?
