Note: The last kwalitee test, the one related to Devel::Cover, is
considered dangerous by a non-trivial percentage of the community,
and there's been a lot of debate on whether it should be removed.
Sorry, I should have said Pod::Test::Coverage.
Regardless, it executes code. I wonder how it deals with testing
Acme::BadExample. Remind me to put in a hard infinite loop.
I don't think you understand the test.
CPANTS did not check for POD coverage, it checked that you seemed to
have a pod coverage test. You could create one that did nothing, and
that caused the test to pass. CPANTS does not evaluate your code, it
just looks at it.
The objection was that some people don't want to distribute that kind
of test, because its results are for the developer's benefit, not the
user's.
You're right, I was remembering the wrong thing.
The main objectious were it didn't test coverage, it just tested you
used some other person's blessed way to detect it.
That you could have perfect POD correctness and perfect POD coverage and
still fail the test, because you did the testing some other way than
kwalitee's blessed way.
