Dist::Zilla is sorely lacking an entry-level tutorial or user guide. That's not to say that I would recommend its use for a first-time CPAN author - quite the opposite. It is the most arcane of all the module management systems and is aimed at (and IMHO only really useful for) the most prolific authors.

In my dream an entry-level tutorial or user guide could promote Dist::Zilla into exactly that: A recommended tool for a first-time (CPAN) module author. It doesn't matter how much magic it can do. Go for Simple problems can be solved easily, and hard problems can be solved.
