John M. Dlugosz has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Last time I looked at PAUSE, some time ago, there was extensive documentation about which files need to be included and how they are formatted (manifest file, must contain an installer, etc.). Now, it just says basically look at the upload form and it should be obvious. So, where is the documentation? Or has the system improved to the point where that formalism is no longer needed?

    I don't recall any such documentation on pause.perl.org, but the advice is straight out of perlnewmod, Always start with h2xs!!!

    update: there is also http://www.perl.com/pub/a/CPAN/misc/cpan-faq.html

    MJD says you can't just make shit up and expect the computer to know what you mean, retardo!
