Test::Kwalitee is an automatically-measurable gauge of how good your software is. That’s very different from quality, which a computer really can’t measure in a general sense. (If you can, you’ve solved a hard problem in computer science.)

In the world of the CPAN, the CPANTS project (CPAN Testing Service; also a funny acronym on its own) measures Kwalitee with several metrics. If you plan to release a distribution to the CPAN – or even within your own organization – testing its Kwalitee before creating a release can help you improve your quality as well.
