Changes for version 6.58_01

  • Doc Fixes
  • Corrected the repository location [chorny]
  • Bug Fixes
  • 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]
