These warnings occur because the version of ExtUtils::MakeMaker you are using 
doesn't have support for META_MERGE yet.  It was added in version 6.46. 
Originally, there was a version check around this:

  $ExtUtils::MakeMaker::VERSION >= 6.46
    ? [use META_MERGE]
    : [use EXTRA_META]

But this ran into problems with some distributions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker with a 
non-numeric $VERSION.  So I decided it wasn't worth the effort.  But patches 
welcome, of course.

The warnings are only relevant for maintainers; users can safely ignore them.
