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'
