I was having a look at CPANTS again this morning, and I noticed
something rather strange.

There are now two kwalitee tests for 'has_test_pod' and
'has_test_pod_coverage'. These check that there are test scripts for
POD correctness and POD coverage.

These seem completely and utterly wrong to me. Surely the kwalitee
checks should be purely that the POD is correct and sufficiently covers
the module?

Otherwise a distribution which has perfectly correct POD, which
completely covers the module, is deemed to be of lesser kwalitee, and
listed on CPANTS as having shortcomings.

We should be very wary of stipulating HOW authors have to achieve their
quality. Saying you can only check your POD in one specific way goes to
far IMO.
