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

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.

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: Apache::Quota, Apache::Quota::BerkeleyDB, Apache::Quota::DB_File::Lock

Ask the owner of the distribution (the one who released it first, or the one who is designated in x_authority) to give you a (co-)maintainer's permission.

Error:

• Apache::Quota
• Apache::Quota::BerkeleyDB
• Apache::Quota::DB_File::Lock

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