I released an update for CPAN::Meta that supports “downgrading” to older versions of the CPAN Meta Spec. This should make it easier for distribution builders like ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, Module::Install and Dist::Zilla to produce both a META.yml (spec version 1.4) and META.json (spec version 2) for the backwards compatibility.
CPAN::Meta can produce old spec output
