For App::fooapp type distributions then you might want the README etc generated from a specific file. Add this to dist.ini:

main_module = bin/fooapp
; btw, semicolon leads a comment, in case you forgot how to do that

Any Module::Install converts reading this should note the bin directory, not script.

In bin/fooapp itself you also provide an additional metadata hint (next to ABSTRACT):

# PODNAME: fooapp

Which results in nifty Metacpan links such as:

• https://metacpan.org/module/nfflowd

Finally this hint to the POD munger will allow a section to be pinned in place above the SYNOPSIS:

=begin :prelude

# POD here...

=end :prelude

I hope these tips are helpful to some…
