in thread adding new files to distribution

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
