Kwalitee Issues

has_readme

Add a README to the distribution. It should contain a quick description of your module and how to install it.

has_manifest

Add a MANIFEST to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it (eg "make manifest" or "./Build manifest")

has_meta_yml

Add a META.yml to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

has_buildtool

Add a Makefile.PL (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker/Module::Install) or a Build.PL (for Module::Build and its friends), or use a distribution builder such as Dist::Zilla, Dist::Milla, Minilla.

has_changelog

Add a Changelog (best named 'Changes') to the distribution. It should list at least major changes implemented in newer versions.

has_tests

Add tests!

has_version

Add a version number to the packed distribution. Or use a buildtool ('make dist' or 'Build dist')

has_proper_version

Remove all letters from the version number. If you want to mark a release as a developer release, use the scheme 'Module-1.00_01'

manifest_matches_dist

Run a proper command ("make manifest" or "./Build manifest", maybe with a force option), or use a distribution builder to generate the MANIFEST. Or update MANIFEST manually.

Error: Cannot find MANIFEST in dist.

use_strict

Add 'use strict' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules are strictly written.

Error: Bundle::HTML::EP, HTML::EP::Config, HTML::EP::Parser

prereq_matches_use

List all used modules in META.yml requires

Error:

  • Apache
  • CGI::EncryptForm
  • DBI
  • HTML::Parser
  • Mail::POP3Client

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

Make sure that the main module name and version are the same of the distribution.

no_pod_errors

Remove the POD errors. You can check for POD errors automatically by including Test::Pod to your test suite.

Error: blib/lib/HTML/EP.pod -- Around line 282: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in 'it´s'. Assuming CP1252

has_meta_json

Add a META.json to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it.

has_tests_in_t_dir

Add tests or move tests.pl to the t/ directory!

meta_yml_has_license

Define the license if you are using in Build.PL. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade to ExtUtils::MakeMaker version 6.31.

use_warnings

Add 'use warnings' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules warn when something bad happens.

Error: Apache::EP, Bundle::HTML::EP, HTML::EP, HTML::EP::CGIEncryptForm, HTML::EP::Config, HTML::EP::EditTable, HTML::EP::Examples::Admin, HTML::EP::Examples::POP3Client, HTML::EP::Install, HTML::EP::Locale, HTML::EP::Parser, HTML::EP::Session, HTML::EP::Session::Cookie, HTML::EP::Session::DBI, HTML::EP::Session::DBIq, HTML::EP::Session::Dumper, HTML::EP::Shop

has_separate_license_file

This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
