Most probably the CPANTS databases are being regenerated from scratch behind the scenes due to the major change in Kwalitee metrics or the update of relevant modules/perl. Usually this maintenance takes about a day or two, and some of the information may be old or missing tentatively. Sorry for the inconvenience.

These fails do affect your Kwalitee scores. This distribution may not be installed cleanly, or may have some issues in license or documentation. Please consider fixing them, or report us if they are false.

|---|---|
| has readme |
The file "README" is missing from this distribution. The README provides some basic information to users prior to downloading and unpacking the distribution. Add a README to the distribution. It should contain a quick description of your module and how to install it. |
| has changelog |
The distribution hasn't got a Changelog (named something like m/^chang(es?|log)|history$/i. A Changelog helps people decide if they want to upgrade to a new version. Add a Changelog (best named 'Changes') to the distribution. It should list at least major changes implemented in newer versions. |
| no broken module install |
This distribution uses an obsolete version of Module::Install. Versions of Module::Install prior to 0.61 might not work on some systems at all. Additionally if your Makefile.PL uses the 'auto_install()' feature, you need at least version 0.64. Also, 1.04 is known to be broken. Upgrade the bundled version of Module::Install to the most current release. Alternatively, you can switch to another build system / installer that does not suffer from this problem. (ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build both of which have their own set of problems.) |
| no pod errors |
The documentation for this distribution contains syntactic errors in its POD. Note that this metric tests all .pl, .pm and .pod files, even if they are in t/. See 'pod_message' in the dist error view for more info. Remove the POD errors. You can check for POD errors automatically by including Test::Pod to your test suite. |
| prereq matches use |
This distribution uses a module or a dist that's not listed as a prerequisite. List all used modules in META.yml requires |
These fails affect your total Kwalitee score, but don't affect the one for the Game. Some of them should be fixed by all means. Others are just matters of taste.

|---|---|
| metayml declares perl version |
This distribution does not declare the minimum perl version in META.yml. If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs. |
| is prereq |
This distribution is not required by another distribution by another author. Convince / force / bribe another CPAN author to use this distribution. |
These fails are not serious and don't affect your Kwalitee scores at all.
| metric | remedy |
|---|---|
| metayml has provides |
This distribution does not have a list of provided modules defined in META.yml. Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build does this automatically for you. |
| has separate license file |
This distribution does not have a LICENSE or LICENCE file in its root directory. This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later. |
