I finally found some tuits to work on CPANTS again. As the previous implementation had some drawbacks, I started from scratch, and from another direction.
I just uploaded Module::CPANTS::Analyse to CPAN. MCA contains most of the previous Kwalitee indicators and some code to check if one distribution tarball conforms to those indicators. It also includes a script calls cpants_lint.pl
which is basically a frontend to the module.
Example:
~$ cpants_lint.pl path/to/Foo-Bar-1.42.tgz
Checked dist Foo-Bar-1.42.zip
Kwalitee rating 15/16
Here is a list of failed Kwalitee tests and
what you can do to solve them:
* has_changelog
Add a Changelog (best named 'Changes') to the distribution.
It should list at least major changes implemented in newer versions.
With Module::CPANTS::Analyse you can now check Kwalitee before uploading to CPAN. Test::Kwalitee should be easly doable now. I will add some more Kwalitee indicators soon, and then start to look for a new server (I start a new job in February so I won't be able to use my old dev-box for this).

I can see the point of spelling Kwalitee that way. It is a reminder to be skeptical about one's own efforts to do things right. Or to question one's own questioning.
But what is the reason for spelling analyze with an 's?'
OK, don't answer that.
germanism, I guess. It's 'analysieren' in german.
