I noted that one of the POD links to the GitHub repo was incorrect, so I fixed that and dutifully added an author test (which can be run with
make authortest
). Note that checking HTTPS scheme URLs and uninstalled modules via CPAN Meta DB requires the installation of Net::SSLeay and IO::Socket::SSL; I've opened trwyant/perl-Test-Pod-LinkCheck-Lite#2 to get that resolved.That led me down a rabbit hole of making sure this could build, test, and install on Perl 5.10 as declared in the Makefile.PL. There were a couple of issues:
make_path
function, version'sdeclare
method). So I added explicit version requirements for both that contain the required functions.Also, just for completeness' sake, I adjusted the Makefile.PL to skip the META_MERGE Makefile argument on older versions of ExtUtils::MakeMaker.
