Easy metadata for CPAN modules

Earlier I wrote about how to enhance a CPAN distribution by including metadata about that distribution's place in its infrastructure — where to find its homepage, bug tracker and repository.

There are now Module::Install plugins on CPAN that make this task easier. Tatsuhiko Miyagawa wrote Module::Install::Repository and I wrote Module::Install::Homepage and Module::Install::Bugtracker. So now your Makefile.PL can simply include these lines:

auto_set_homepage;
auto_set_bugtracker;
auto_set_repository;

To set the repository link, your distribution's version control is examined. The distribution's homepage is set to its page on http://search.cpan.org, and the distribution's bugtracker is set to its RT queue on http://rt.cpan.org.
