Kwalitee Issues

has_readme

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

has_manifest

Add a MANIFEST to the distribution. Your buildtool should be able to autogenerate it (eg "make manifest" or "./Build manifest")

has_meta_yml

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

has_buildtool

Add a Makefile.PL (for ExtUtils::MakeMaker/Module::Install) or a Build.PL (for Module::Build and its friends), or use a distribution builder such as Dist::Zilla, Dist::Milla, Minilla.

has_changelog

Add a Changelog (best named 'Changes') to the distribution. It should list at least major changes implemented in newer versions.

has_tests

Add tests!

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'

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: Cannot find MANIFEST in dist.

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

no_pod_errors

Remove the POD errors. You can check for POD errors automatically by including Test::Pod to your test suite.

Error: Sendmail/M4/Mail8.pm -- Around line 128: Expected text after =item, not a bullet Around line 203: You forgot a '=back' before '=head1' Around line 245: Expected text after =item, not a number Around line 249: Expected text after =item, not a number Around line 254: Expected text after =item, not a number Around line 258: Expected text after =item, not a number Around line 284: You forgot a '=back' before '=head2' Around line 976: You forgot a '=back' before '=head2' Around line 1808: =over without closing =back Sendmail/M4/Utils.pm -- Around line 2242: Non-ASCII character seen before =encoding in '£:'. Assuming UTF-8 Around line 3686: =over without closing =back

has_meta_json

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

has_tests_in_t_dir

Add tests or move tests.pl to the t/ directory!

proper_libs

Move your *.pm files in a directory named 'lib'. The directory structure should look like 'lib/Your/Module.pm' for a module named 'Your::Module'. If you need to provide additional files, e.g. for testing, that should not be considered for Kwalitee, then you should look at the 'provides' map in META.yml to limit the files scanned; or use the 'no_index' map to exclude parts of the distribution.

Error: M4/Mail8.pm, M4/Utils.pm

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.

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: Sendmail::M4::Mail8, Sendmail::M4::Utils

consistent_version

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

Error: 0.27,0.33

has_separate_license_file

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