Hi Folks

I've just started to get the warning msg in the Subject.

I assume it's a side-effect of V 0.3800.

I could not see any reference to a provides key in the docs for M::B,
nor via googling, altho I assume it goes in Build.PL somehow.

What should I do to silence this msg?

It's generally provided automatically based on discovered package names.

What dist is it? Is it a distribution with only scripts and no modules?
