meta_json_conforms_to_known_spec

Take a look at the META.json Spec at https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::History::Meta_1_4 (for version 1.4) or https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.json accordingly.

Error: License 'ARRAY(...)' is invalid (license) [Validation: 1.0]

has_meta_yml

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

no_files_to_be_skipped

Fix MANIFEST.SKIP or use an authoring tool which respects MANIFEST.SKIP. Note that each entry in MANIFEST.SKIP is a regular expression. You may need to add appropriate meta characters not to ignore necessary stuff.

Error: MANIFEST.SKIP,Makefile,t/reference/write/output_p7.miff

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'

no_generated_files

Remove the offending files/directories!

Error: Makefile

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 (548) does not match dist (569):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: META.json, Magick.pm, Magick.pm.in, Magick.xs, Makefile, Makefile.PL, check, demo/annotate_words.pl, demo/settings.pl, t/Generic.ttf, t/bzlib/input.miff.bz2, t/openjp2/input.j2k, t/reference/openjp2/read_j2k.miff, t/reference/openjp2/read_jp2.miff, t/reference/openjp2/read_jpc.miff, t/reference/write/jp2/read_jp2.miff, t/reference/write/jp2/read_jpc.miff, t/reference/write/jp2/read_pgx.miff, t/reference/write/output_p7.miff, t/zlib/input.miff.gz, typemap

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

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_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: Image::Magick

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.

meta_yml_has_repository_resource

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

has_separate_license_file

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