| Subject: | Fails In Distros Without .pm Files |
I have a couple of distros that only contain a script (i.e. no modules; no .pm files) and Test::Kwalitee fails on these by telling me I've not used strict in my modules (and then provides the empty list of modules that need use strict).
One of such dists is http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?cpan_bot and the other where I actually ran the test is http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?file2ftp
Here's the error messages from the test:
t/kwalitee.t ...... 1/?
# Failed test 'metayml_conforms_to_known_spec'
# at t/kwalitee.t line 5.

# Failed test 'use_strict'

# Error: This distribution does not 'use strict;' (or its equivalents) in all of its modules. Note that this is not about the actual strictness of the modules. It's bad if nobody can tell whether the modules are strictly written or not, without reading the source code of your favorite clever module that actually enforces strictness. In other words, it's bad if someone feels the need to add 'use strict' to the modules.

# The following modules don't use strict (or equivalents):

t/kwalitee.t ...... Dubious, test returned 4 (wstat 1024, 0x400)
Not sure what relation this module has to the CPANTS Kwalitee game, but there the failure is also present, seemingly by calling a module on an idenfined value: http://cpants.cpanauthors.org/dist/cpan_bot/errors
