The rule is simple: what can't be generated belongs to version control. What can be generated doesn't belong there.

($q=q:Sq=~/;[c](.)(.)/;chr(-||-|5+lengthSq)`"S|oS2"`map{chr |+ord }map{substrSq`S_+|`|}3E|-|`7**2-3:)=~y+S|`+$1,++print+eval$q,q,a,

    OK, had to mull that over. So answer is "no, those files should not go there." Sounds like a good rule to follow.

    $PM = "Perl Monk's";
    $MCF = "Most Clueless Friar Abbot Bishop Pontiff Deacon Curate Priest";
    $nysus = $PM . ' ' . $MCF;

      Makefile, MYMETA.yml and MYMETA.json are generated by perl Makefile.PL and MANIFEST can be (re-)created using the created Makefile issuing make manifest, so you can skip those files, although a proper MANIFEST serves to check the distribution for completeness. So it is probably a good idea to update MANIFEST after adding files and push that, too.

      perl -le'print map{pack c,($-++?1:13)+ord}split//,ESEL'
