in thread Exclude files and directories in tarfile for CPAN upload

So do you used Module::Starter ?

The short documentation of the module says: 

The ignores_type is a new feature that allows one to create SCM-specif
+ic ignore files. These are the mappings:

ignores_type => 'generic'  # default, creates 'ignore.txt'
ignores_type => 'cvs'      # creates .cvsignore
ignores_type => 'git'      # creates .gitignore
ignores_type => 'hg'       # creates .hgignore
ignores_type => 'manifest' # creates MANIFEST.SKIP

Go canonical and use my guide ;)

PS the above module ships with the module-starter program inside /bin and this is the suggested method to follow. The program has the option --ignores=type the sets the above mentioned ignores_type internal option. It defaults to txt creating ignore.txt

    well yes, but I think it's for getting started only and not for publishing.

      I created all my distributions with Module::Starter and I always just run 

      make dist

      [download]
      and upload the result to PAUSE. What more do you need for publishing?

      map{substr$_->[0],$_->[1]||0,1}[\*||{},3],[[]],[ref qr-1,-,-1],[{}],[sub{}^*ARGV,3]

        Excuse my ignorance, I rarely use make, not a C hacker.

        There is no dist-file to make.

        Was it generated by module-starter in your case???
