make dist must be used to create a proper CPAN tarball before any sharing or installing of the code is attempted. This notably includes generating META.yml/META.json and adding them to MANIFEST, and leaving out any files not in MANIFEST.

It could also mention that cpanm can install distribution tarballs directly if you wish. cpanm Some-Dist-0.001.tar.gz
