Sign the dist as the last step before creating the archive. Take care not to modify/regenerate dist meta files or the manifest.

Error: Old SIGNATURE detected. Please inform the module author to regenerate SIGNATURE using Module::Signature version 0.82 or newer. gpg: Signature made Sat 21 Jan 2012 07:19:44 AM JST gpg: using DSA key 2C5302215F6ADD3A gpg: Can't check signature: No public key ==> BAD/TAMPERED signature detected! <==

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.

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.

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

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