Under maintenance.

Most probably CPANTS databases are being regenerated from scratch due to major changes in Kwalitee metrics or updates 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.

Kwalitee Issues

no_pax_headers

If you use Mac OS X >= 10.6, use gnu tar (/usr/bin/gnutar) to avoid PAX headers. It's also important to rename (shorten) long file names (>= 100 characters) in the distribution.

Error: PaxHeader/Compiler-Lexer-0.01,PaxHeader/Compiler-Lexer-0.01,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/Changes,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/Changes,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/lib,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/lib,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/Makefile.PL,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/Makefile.PL,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/MANIFEST,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/MANIFEST,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/ppport.h,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/ppport.h,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/t,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/PaxHeader/t,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/t/PaxHeader/Lexer.t,Compiler-Lexer-0.01/t/PaxHeader/Lexer.t

has_readme

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

has_meta_yml

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

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.

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:

  • MANIFEST (8) does not match dist (5):
  • Missing in Dist: Lexer.xs, README, lib/Lexer.pm

has_abstract_in_pod

Provide a short description in the NAME section of the pod (after the module name followed by a hyphen) at least for the main module of this distribution.

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

has_meta_json

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

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.

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.

has_separate_license_file

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

configure_prereq_matches_use

List all modules used in the Makefile.PL/Build.PL in META.yml configure_requires

Error:

  • Module::Install::XSUtil

has_security_doc

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

security_doc_contains_contact

Add SECURITY(.pod|md) and add a contact address. See Software::Security::Policy.

has_contributing_doc

Add CONTRIBUTING(.pod|md). See https://docs.github.com/en/communities/setting-up-your-project-for-healthy-contributions/setting-guidelines-for-repository-contributors.
