in reply to Module Submission for CPAN
Here's what I like to see in a module on CPAN:
- An easy installation procedure, preferably the standard `perl Makefile.pl; make; make test; make install`. make test should test the features of the module.
- Documentation, including a README file and standard POD in the module itself.
- Configurability, as appropriate. Your module, for example, depends on /usr/dict/words. The person using your module may need to or want to specify an alternate file to use. (*)
(*) On some systems, /usr/dict/words includes Unix terms and includes only root forms of regular words, which is not good for word puzzles.
