  • I think you may want to revise the code for checking use_warning. CPANTS fails Finance::Currency::Convert::XE [perl.org], but 'use warnings' is right there [cpan.org] on line 5 and has been since it existed! It's the only module in the distribution, so it isn't referencing something else. However, this also raised a thought about whether you check modules under the /t (or /xt) directories. Some of those modules may not have 'use warnings' for a good reason in order to test aspects of the distribution.
    • The code is ok, as it only checks .pm files in either the basedir, or in lib. If there are no modules in these places, CPANTS locates all .pm files, but skips x?t, test and inc paths.

      In this case the problem is that CPANTS didn't pick up the correct CPANTS yaml file. Instead of using the correct one (of 0.14, btw), it used an outdated yaml file left over from a CPANTS run where the 'use_warnings' metric wasn't even implemented.

      So, yes, there is a bug in CPANTS, but not in 'use_warnings'. I'll try to fix it in the next few days and hope that you can live without this point for the time beeing :-)
