h2xs is not a packaging tool. It's a helper for initial module and
distribution creation, probably interfacing a C library (hence the
name).

You can take care of META.yml yourself, just put NO_META => 1 into
your Makefile.PL.

Strictly speaking, CGI and Carp do not need to be listed as a
PREREQ_PM (or requires), as these modules are included in every recent
perl5 standard distribution. That speaking, the existence of minimal
perl distributions is possible, so mentioning them does not hurt.
Usually you're yourself responsible to fill the dependency fields.
There are helper modules to get the list of dependencies, e.g.
Module::Dependency.

Probably. Look into the Module:: hierarchy.
