It would seem to be useful if CPAN were to have a couple really
basic
tests like this to run for perl modules that haven't created any
tests
themselves.
Obviously, this only benefits immature modules, but this might be a
good way to motivate new authors to put more attention into testing.
I recommend Test::Distribution for this type of "default" tests. It
looks for .pm files in blib and performs a bunch of tests on them --
POD, compile, version, etc.
