To create a properly structured CPAN distribution you must run <code>perl Makefile.PL</code> then <code>make dist</code>, this will create a tarball in the current directory that you can share and install using a CPAN client, or even upload to CPAN.

Following tests are not needed to install or use your module but to help you spotting what can be wrong in your distribution.
