in reply to CPAN-Meta and ExtUtils-MakeMaker Conflict?

The CPAN::Meta::Converter package is part of the CPAN-Meta distribution and version 2.112150 was uploaded earlier today. Perhaps that will fix your problem (although I don't see anything relevant in Changes, but I don't know how old your CPAN::Meta is).

Update

A new version of ExtUtils-MakeMaker has just been uploaded to CPAN. Its Changes includes...

Removed the %INC check from _has_cpan_meta and updated the CPAN::Meta bundled with EUMM to one that doesn't set $VERSION in a begin block so it can't appear to be loaded, thus causing us to mistakenly try and call methods on CPAN::Meta modules - this is due to older versions in site_perl shadowing our installation of other bundled modules. [rt.cpan.org 69465] [rt.cpan.org 69900] [MSTROUT]
You may find more help/information/fixes by following those RT bugs mentioned above.

    Unfortunately, I don't know that this would fix my problem, and in any event this latest version of the module would have to get to the ActiveState repositories before it could help, if it could help (the current version of CPAN-Meta on PPM is 2.110930, and that wasn't the latest version before today anyway).

    Thanks for the update. I'm going to wait a bit to see if ActiveState updates it's repositories with this, then either use PPM if they did or install by hand if they didn't.

    Thanks again.
