Finally, the scoreboard does have a purpose. Part of the original idea of CPANTS was to provide an automated checklist for a good distribution.
Has a README... check Declares a $VERSION... check Well behaved tarball... no
And as far as I can tell, got sidetracked along the way with "scores". People have to actually fiddle to work out what there scores are...
Where's the per-module page on CPANTS that lists these simple check/fail?
Where's the per-author page that has the great big table with module name down the side, and test names across the top and green/red boxes indicating pass/fail?
I _know_ I've got some issues in my modules as uploaded, but in a sea of 60 or 70 modules, I sure as hell don't have time to hunt through and find them all (although I do try to get the obvious bits).
