So, if I want to write a review of Net::SMTP, I'd do the following.

1. Use Module::Build, or ExtUtils::MakeMaker to create
Review::Net::SMTP::CHRISJ, or whatever.

2. Make sure I have my README.txt, CHANGES, and MANIFEST file.

3. Write my review in POD format, and throw in some META.yml indexing code
as well.

4. Make sure the module/review is executable so it passes CPAN testing.

5. Upload the review to CPAN.
