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

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!

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 (80) does not match dist (2):
  • Missing in MANIFEST: MANIFEST, Makefile.PL
  • Missing in Dist: , (similar, );, 1;, =head1, =item, =over, After, Bundle::Bugzilla, C<perl, Chart::Base, DBD::mysql, DBI, Data::Dumper, Date::Parse, EOF, Enables, Makefile.PL0100664000000000000000000001402107237635462011545, Perl, Run, The, This, Used, Zach, \$VERSION, __END__, again, and, bugzilla?\n";, checksetup.pl, close, confused?, hurt, installation., localconfig, modules.\n\n";, modules?\n";, optionalgraphs();, outputbzpm();, package, print, sub, the, to, use, writemakefile();, your, {, }

has_abstract_in_pod

main_module_version_matches_dist_version

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

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.

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.

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.
