CPAN::Meta::X::Old - Custom (x_*) keys in CPAN distribution metadata being used in the wild (old/deprecated)
This document describes version 0.008 of CPAN::Meta::X::Old (from Perl distribution CPAN-Meta-X), released on 2022-10-28.
This is the historical companion for CPAN::Meta::X.
Express that the current distribution is following a specification defined in the specified module. No longer used; to express "follows a specification module" we now use (phase=develop, rel=x_spec).

To contribute, you can send patches by email/via RT, or send pull requests on GitHub.
Most of the time, you don't need to build the distribution yourself. You can simply modify the code, then test via:
% prove -l
If you want to build the distribution (e.g. to try to install it locally on your system), you can install Dist::Zilla, Dist::Zilla::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, Pod::Weaver::PluginBundle::Author::PERLANCAR, and sometimes one or two other Dist::Zilla- and/or Pod::Weaver plugins. Any additional steps required beyond that are considered a bug and can be reported to me.
