Subject: [PATCH] add no_dot_underscore_metafiles indicator
Some distribution authors on OS X accidently package and ship some binary metafiles. 'make' attempts to execute them and fails. These distributions are basically broken without manual intervention. This happens now and then, to see the extent of the problem: <http://google.com/search?q=%22._Makefile%22+%22Unrecognized+character+ %5Cx05%22> Typical recent example: <https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html? id=40877> I have suffered at least two times from it this year alone. I propose a new indicator to catch this problem, graded as a core metric due to the severity. The attached git patch provides implementation and tests, and unrelated, some English fixes. Also add http://search.cpan.org/CPAN/authors/id/G/GA/GAAS/Digest- MD5-2.37.tar.gz into the t/eg/ directory as additional test data.
