Currently, Makefile.PL-built Perl recipes (cpan.bbclass) exclude
.packlist files with NO_PACKLIST=1, but Build.PL recipes
(cpan_build.bbclass) do not. This now results in a QA error due to the
TMPDIR paths included in the .packlist file.

  ERROR: x do_package_qa: QA Issue: File [...]/.packlist in package x
         contains reference to TMPDIR [buildpaths]

A similar error is produced by generated html doc.

Here we add the corresponding Build.PL arg to disable packlists and html
doc.

Hello,

This patch should also apply to master. We have a strong master-first
policy so any patch need to get an equivalent merged on master before
being merged on stable branches.

Can you send an equivalent patch on master so I can review this for
wrynose?

Thanks!

Hi, thank you for the advice. I've resubmitted the patch on master. Sorry for
any formatting mistakes. My workplace blocks non-outlook mail clients so I'm
having to jump through some hoops.

Your patch does apply clean on wrynose, so , no formatting issues to
report, well done!

Do you know about "b4"?
https://b4.docs.kernel.org/en/latest/contributor/send.html
It has a web submission endpoint for contributor with "difficult" mail
systems and should work with Yocto Project & Openembedded mailing lists.
