I've started adding the following badge section to my top level module pod so information is provided but maintenance is not required. This includes the minimum perl supported, current github version, CPAN version, Travis-CI state, Coveralls information, and Kwalitee score for that package.

Probably overkill but once it's set up you don't have to mess with it anymore. The down side is it will only display in browsers not in man pages. Inspect the various specific urls for your implementation substitutions. I generally put it right after the NAME section.

For the github badge to work you have to draft a release with the package version as the 'Tag version'

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
