Kwalitee Issues
- has_human_readable_license
-
Add a section called "LICENSE" to the documentation, or add a file named LICENSE to the distribution.
- has_license_in_source_file
-
Add =head1 LICENSE and the text of the license to the main module in your code.
- meta_yml_declares_perl_version
-
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.
- has_tests_in_t_dir
-
Add tests or move tests.pl to the t/ directory!
- has_known_license_in_source_file
-
Add =head1 LICENSE and/or the proper text of the well-known license to the main module in your code.
- 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: Net::Ping::External
- meta_yml_has_provides
-
Add all modules contained in this distribution to the META.yml field 'provides'. Module::Build or Dist::Zilla::Plugin::MetaProvides do this automatically for you.
- has_separate_license_file
-
This is not a critical issue. Currently mainly informative for the CPANTS authors. It might be removed later.
