Re: MANIFEST with spaces in filenames?

Renaming the file isn't an option for me.

While renaming may in the end not be an option for you, I'd strongly suggest considering it, especially if you plan on having wide distribution for your module. I know it would be one of the first things I changed if I ended up packaging your module for inclusion in Debian.

Can you have the .t test file create a file with a space in the filename, and then run your test on that 'dynamically' created file? This would solve your problem of not having to distribute it with the CPAN package.	[reply]
