Should I just put everything in a tarball and upload it to CPAN with the hope that someone else could write a makefile and test suite?
What happens when the auto-tester finds no tests?
At the risk of making the test mavens gag, you could upload a test suite that simply tests whether the object the module creates was constructed, i.e., a simple ok() on the constructor. This of course assumes the file is OO. If it's not, just run h2xs and use its test file which contains a single ok().
The minimal test-suite in my opinion does:
use Test::More tests => 2;
use_ok( 'module'); # checks for compile errors
can_ok( 'module',@subnames); # checks whether there's nothing missing from the API
