Kwalitee Issues

extracts_nicely

Pack the distribution with a proper command such as "make dist" and "./Build dist", or use a distribution builder such as Dist::Zilla, Dist::Milla, Minilla.

Error: More than one top directories are found: Makefile.PL;Makefile;MANIFEST;t;MYMETA.yml;Changes;MYMETA.json;ignore.txt;README;lib

has_meta_yml

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

buildtool_not_executable

Change the permissions of Build.PL/Makefile.PL to not-executable.

no_generated_files

Remove the offending files/directories!

Error: Makefile

no_mymeta_files

Update MANIFEST.SKIP to exclude MYMETA files. If you are lazy, add "#!install_default" in your MANIFEST.SKIP and update your ExtUtils::Manifest if necessary, then some of the most common files will be excluded.

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 (14) does not match dist (19):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: MYMETA.json, MYMETA.yml, Makefile, ignore.txt, t/boilerplate.t

prereq_matches_use

List all used modules in META.yml requires

Error:

  • BerkeleyDB

has_meta_json

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

meta_yml_has_provides

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.

meta_yml_has_repository_resource

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

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.
