Failed to fetch 'https://api.metacpan.org/v0//release/_search': Gone

On some of my smokers I see test failures like this:

    #   Failed test at t/00-test.t line 16.
    #          got: 'Failed to fetch 'https://api.metacpan.org/v0//release/_search': Gone at /usr/perl5.8.9/lib/site_perl/5.8.9/MetaCPAN/Client.pm line 289.
    # '
    #     expected: ''
    # Looks like you failed 1 test of 3.

#   Failed test 'recent_in_memory'
#   at t/00-test.t line 18.

    #   Failed test at t/00-test.t line 25.
    #          got: '65280'
    #     expected: '0'
... (etc) ...

This seems to happen if an old version of MetaCPAN::Client (<2.0?) is installed. Statistical analysis:

Thanks for reporting. A minimal version will be required in the next release.
