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

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: Unicode::Stringprep, Unicode::Stringprep::BiDi, Unicode::Stringprep::Mapping, Unicode::Stringprep::Prohibited, Unicode::Stringprep::Unassigned, Unicode::Stringprep::_Common

Split the distribution, or fix the version numbers to make them consistent (use the highest version number to avoid version downgrade).

Error: 1.00,1.00_20080919

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.

Add a 'repository' resource to the META.yml via 'meta_add' accessor (for Module::Build) or META_ADD parameter (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker).

Add SECURITY(.pod|md). See Software::Security::Policy.
