Re: adding new files to distribution

Having edited your MANIFEST, try re-generating the makefile, by running the command: perl Makefile.PL.

If the directory structure is tidied up to remove all files except (thus containing only) those required in the distribution, assuming the Makefile has already been generated, in order to re-build the MANIFEST and get the extra files included in the distribution, I've found that the following is a little more reliable:

rm MANIFEST
make manifest
perl Makefile.PL
[download]

A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))

Should we specify all configs/modules we require as part of the Makefile? I am guessing this will automatically generate the right MANIFEST.	[reply]

No, there's no need to specify _any_ files since they [the files] specify themselves by existing in the structure when the makefile &/or MANIFEST is/are re-generated. In hindsight, one of the quickest ways to re-generate the MANIFEST and the makefile is `make realclean rm MANIFEST perl Makefile.PL make` [download] A user level that continues to overstate my experience :-))	[reply] [d/l]
