Would it be useful for Module::Build to warn you if "perl Build dist" is
run without a successful run of these tests?
$ perl Built dist
KWALITEE WARNING: It's recommended you run "perl Build disttest"
beforehand.
KWALITEE WARNING: It's recommended you run "perl Build testpod"
beforehand.
...
$ perl Build testpod && perl Build disttest
$ perl Build dist
...
Module::Build could write some flag to indicate that a test were done
and how successful it was. The flag probably should include a checksum
of all files in the distribution to allow verification that the test was
run on the current copy of the files. If your t/*.t files themselves
handle these kwalitee tests (e.g. as a substitute for testpod), then
these flags should get updated when running the t/*.t tests as well. If
the flags are included in the distribution itself, they could be read by
CPANTS to address problems like the below:

Test::Pod::Coverage needs to evaluate the Perl code it is
coverage-testing. It has been said that no CPANTS test will do that.
