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;MANIFEST;MYMETA.yml;bin;doc;MYMETA.json

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.

has_tests

Add tests!

distname_matches_name_in_meta

Use a proper tool to make a distribution. You might also need to fix META files if you keep them in the repository.

Error: makedist

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.

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

meta_yml_declares_perl_version

If you are using Build.PL define the {requires}{perl} = VERSION field. If you are using MakeMaker (Makefile.PL) you should upgrade ExtUtils::MakeMaker to 6.48 and use MIN_PERL_VERSION parameter. Perl::MinimumVersion can help you determine which version of Perl your module needs.

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!

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.

has_separate_license_file

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