ExtUtils::Manifest provides a number of utilities to write and check a MANIFEST file. At present the list includes mkmanifest, manicheck, filecheck, fullcheck, skipcheck, manifind, maniread, manicopy, and maniadd. To install, execute the sequence perl Makefile.PL $MAKE $MAKE test $MAKE install where $MAKE is the make program appropriate for your system. Alternatively, if you have Module::Build installed, you can do perl Build.PL perl Build perl Build test perl Build install
