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_meta_yml

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

has_changelog

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

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,xt/release/pod.t,xt/release/pod_coverage.t,xt/release/pod_spell.t,xt/release

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 (4) does not match dist (8):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: MANIFEST.SKIP, xt/release/pod.t, xt/release/pod_coverage.t, xt/release/pod_spell.t

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_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::ExtraTests

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.
