I'm setting up a package for distribution on CPAN for the first time. I have a few symlinks in my testing directory. When I try running 'make manifest' or other related commands that invoke ExtUtils::Manifest, I get an error saying "...Google-RestApi/t/integration/Google/integration is encountered a second time at /usr/share/perl/5.26/File/Find.pm line 79." 'integration' is a symlink. I can't be the only person that has symlinks in a dist. :-/ There is a mention of a similar problem here: https://github.com/Perl-Toolchain-Gang/ExtUtils-Manifest/issues/5 but there doesn't seem to be a resolution.

I've upgraded ExtUtils::Manifest to 1.72.

The project is at https://github.com/mvsjes2/p5-google-restapi

Could someone give me a shove in the right direction on this?
