Invalid metadata structure. Errors: Expected a map structure from string or file. [Validation: 1.0]

Hello David.

I just tried to run rt-to-github.pl on my devel-nytprof repo repo, which I'd checked out and run 'perl Makefile.PL' in to generate a MYMETA.json file.

I got this error:

$ ~/repos/zzz-rt-to-github/rt-to-github.pl -n
github user:  [timbunce]
github token:  [...]
repo owner:  [timbunce]
repo name:  [master] devel-nytprof
PAUSE ID:  [TIMB]
Invalid metadata structure. Errors: Expected a map structure from string or file. [Validation: 1.0]
 at /Users/timbo/repos/zzz-rt-to-github/rt-to-github.pl line 50.

I upgraded CPAN::Meta to the latest ("installed CPAN-Meta-2.143240 (upgraded from 2.142690)") but that didn't help.

Then I figured the generated MYMETA.json file might be the problem, so I updated ExtUtils::MakeMaker ("installed ExtUtils-MakeMaker-7.04 (upgraded from 6.66)") but that didn't help.

Eventually I hacked the code to ignore MYMETA.json etc. Then it prompted for 'RT dist name' and all was well.

Can you post or email me the generated MYMETA file, please? That's an error from CPAN::Meta::Validator, I think and I'm curious what it's choking on.
