Kwalitee Issues

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.

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 (195) does not match dist (192):
  • Missing in Dist: README, doc/minivend.html, doc/toc.html

use_strict

Add 'use strict' (or its equivalents) to all modules, or convince us that your favorite module is well-known enough and people can easily see the modules are strictly written.

Error: Carp, File::CounterFile, File::Spec::VMS, HTML::Entities, Vend::Order, Vend::Table::DummyDB, Vend::ValidCC

prereq_matches_use

List all used modules in META.yml requires

Error:

  • Msql

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: minivend-3.06/lib/Archive/Tar.pm -- Around line 635: =over without closing =back minivend-3.06/lib/File/Spec/VMS.pm -- Around line 33: =over without closing =back minivend-3.06/lib/Vend/Search.pm -- Around line 316: '=item' outside of any '=over' Around line 391: You forgot a '=back' before '=head2'

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!

no_stdin_for_prompting

Use the prompt() method from ExtUtils::MakeMaker/Module::Build.

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: win/POSIX.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.

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: Archive::Tar, Carp, File::CounterFile, File::Spec, File::Spec::OS2, File::Spec::Unix, File::Spec::VMS, File::Spec::Win32, HTML::Entities, IniConf, POSIX, Vend::Cart, Vend::Config, Vend::Data, Vend::Glimpse, Vend::Http, Vend::Imagemap, Vend::Interpolate, Vend::MakeCat, Vend::Offline, Vend::Order, Vend::PageBuild, Vend::Parse, Vend::Parser, Vend::Scan, Vend::Search, Vend::Server, Vend::Session, Vend::SessionFile, Vend::Table::DBI, Vend::Table::DB_File, Vend::Table::DummyDB, Vend::Table::GDBM, Vend::Table::Import, Vend::Table::InMemory, Vend::Table::Msql, Vend::Table::Quoted, Vend::Table::Update, Vend::TextSearch, Vend::Util, Vend::ValidCC

no_unauthorized_packages

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:

  • Archive::Tar
  • Carp
  • File::CounterFile
  • File::Spec
  • File::Spec::OS2
  • File::Spec::Unix
  • File::Spec::VMS
  • File::Spec::Win32
  • HTML::Entities
  • IniConf
  • POSIX

consistent_version

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

Error: 0.07,0.5,0.92,1.08,1.10,1.11,1.114,1.12,1.14,1.15,1.18,1.20,1.25,1.3,1.35,1.38,1.44,1.5,1.6,1.7,1.8,1.9

has_separate_license_file

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

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.
