For me, it seems strange to skip out the first part of the module
name, just because it's part of the recipe perl-module- prefix. I
agree it's a bit ugly to call it perl-module-module-metadata, but
I think it would cause less confusion.

On the other hand, the naming convention within meta-perl seems
to be consistently lib<module name>-perl, like it is in Debian.
Same for oecore, except the core modules provided by the perl
recipe. This would make the proper name for this recipe be
libmodule-metadata-perl. Why use the perl-module- prefix?
