On the dream note I’m going to reassert, It’s a pipe dream. You can’t make advanced algebra friendly to those just learning long division. The packages could maybe gain a “wizard” script (like CPAN does on first shell run) or a lengthy checklist of configuration ideas but you can’t convey the dist, build, meta, make, synopsis, spelling, OS, tests, author tests, env, CI, repos, deps, manifest, versioning, dev versioning, et cetera to someone who doesn’t even know what those things are; and if you automate it, it’s a kind of cargo-culting. In my experience, POD is a lot to ask from first time authors and it’s dead simple. Making Dist::Zilla beginner friendly would be a, to quote a dead bird, crash course in brain surgery.
