While I think about this, a closely-related issue is publishing to the
CPAN. I feel sorry for any new developer who's written a module they think
they can publish. I now use dzil. It's amazing, but I wouldn't wish it on a
new developer. For my modules that *don't* use dzil, I still get PRs
because I've screwed up something or other in the packaging.

Should there be clear guidance or support for that in the core?

Best,
Ovid
