Could not create MYMETA files
Creating new 'Build' script for 'BioPerl' version '1.006900'

I'm getting the same error. Did you manage to find a solution?

The problem is a warning that the latest Module::Build emits and is a problem with the BioPerl-specific Module::Build subclass. Much of that has been fixed in the 1.6.9 release.
