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: ._META.json;._example.pl;Makefile.PL;._META.yml;._MANIFEST;._README;META.json;MANIFEST;test.pl;Changes;._Makefile.PL;README;._test.pl;lib;META.yml;example.pl

meta_yml_is_parsable

Upgrade your YAML generator so it produces valid YAML.

Error: CPAN::Meta::YAML does not support a feature in line ''CS Networks <support@certic.info>’'

meta_json_is_parsable

Upgrade your META.json generator so it produces valid JSON.

Error: malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 18 (before "\x{201c}Multithreadi...")

meta_json_conforms_to_known_spec

Take a look at the META.json Spec at https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::History::Meta_1_4 (for version 1.4) or https://metacpan.org/pod/CPAN::Meta::Spec (for version 2), and change your META.json accordingly.

buildtool_not_executable

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

has_human_readable_license

Add a section called "LICENSE" to the documentation, or add a file named LICENSE to the distribution.

has_license_in_source_file

Add =head1 LICENSE and the text of the license to the main module in your code.

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 (10) does not match dist (23):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: ._MANIFEST, ._META.json, ._META.yml, ._Makefile.PL, ._README, ._example.pl, ._test.pl, lib/.DS_Store, lib/._.DS_Store, lib/Net/.DS_Store, lib/Net/._.DS_Store, lib/Net/Enum/._DNS.pm, lib/Net/Enum/._DNSServer.pm, lib/Net/Enum/DNS.pm, lib/Net/Enum/DNSServer.pm
  • Missing in Dist: DNS.pm, DNSserver.pm

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: Net::Enum::._DNS, Net::Enum::._DNSServer

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

has_tests_in_t_dir

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

no_dot_underscore_files

If you use Mac OS X, set COPYFILE_DISABLE (for OS 10.5 and better) or COPY_EXTENDED_ATTRIBUTES_DISABLE (for OS 10.4) environmental variable to true to exclude dot underscore files from a distribution.

Error:

  • ._MANIFEST
  • ._META.json
  • ._META.yml
  • ._Makefile.PL
  • ._README
  • ._example.pl
  • ._test.pl
  • lib/._.DS_Store
  • lib/Net/._.DS_Store
  • lib/Net/Enum/._DNS.pm
  • lib/Net/Enum/._DNSServer.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: Net::Enum::._DNS, Net::Enum::._DNSServer, Net::Enum::DNS, Net::Enum::DNSServer

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.
