I went canonical and read https://www.cpan.org/misc/cpan-faq.html#How_contribute_modules https://www.cpan.org/modules/04pause.html both don't really mention ExtUtils::MakeMaker, Module::Build, Dist::Zilla, and Minilla As a side note: Confusingly did Module::Starter create a README, but PAUSE says not to upload one...

So do you used Module::Starter ? The short documentation of the module says: `The ignores_type is a new feature that allows one to create SCM-specif +ic ignore files. These are the mappings: ignores_type => 'generic' # default, creates 'ignore.txt' ignores_type => 'cvs' # creates .cvsignore ignores_type => 'git' # creates .gitignore ignores_type => 'hg' # creates .hgignore ignores_type => 'manifest' # creates MANIFEST.SKIP` [download] Go canonical and use my guide ;) L* PS the above module ships with the `module-starter` program inside `/bin` and this is the suggested method to follow. The program has the option --ignores=type the sets the above mentioned `ignores_type` internal option. It defaults to `txt` creating `ignore.txt` There are no rules, there are no thumbs.. Reinvent the wheel, then learn The Wheel; may be one day you reinvent one of THE WHEELS.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

Confusingly did Module::Starter create a README, but PAUSE says not to upload one... The PAUSE document is advising you not to upload a separate README file individually outside of the distribution tarball. That's a totally different thing from including a README inside the tarball which you absolutely should do. 🦛	[reply]

What you shouldn't do, on the other hand, is to upload a README.pod file. It gets installed into a wrong path by `cpan`, see for example here. `map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]\|\|0,1}[\\|\|{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^ARGV,3]`	[reply] [d/l] [select]
