I'm not Richard, but I read his statement as:

  As the author of Pod::Coverage, which is used as one way to score a tick
  in CPANTS, I'd like to repeat that there a world of difference between what
  you need to do to fool the tool into give you a ticked box, and what you
  need to actually do to be useful to a human.

  So don't read *too* much into CPANTS.

Richard does rather a good job of writing code for other people for free.
