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

Fix the problematic entry.

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.

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.

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