NAME

6       Module::Install::ManifestSkip - Generate a MANIFEST.SKIP file
7

SYNOPSIS

9           use inc::Module::Install;
10
11           all_from 'lib/Foo.pm';
12
13           manifest_skip;
14
15           WriteAll;
16

DESCRIPTION

18       This module generates a "MANIFEST.SKIP" file for you (using
19       Module::Manifest::Skip) that contains the common files that people do
20       not want in their "MANIFEST" files. The SKIP file is generated each
21       time that you (the module author) run "Makefile.PL".
22
23       You can add your own custom entries at the top of the "MANIFEST" file.
24       Just put a blank line after your entries, and they will be left alone.
25
26       This module also adds 'MANIFEST' to the clean_files() list so that
27       "make clean" will remove your "MANIFEST".
28

OPTIONS

30       if you don't plan on adding anything to the stock MANIFEST.SKIP and
31       just want "make clean" to delete it, say this:
32
33           manifest_skip 'clean';
34

THEORY

36       one school of thought for release management is that you never commit
37       your "MANIFEST" file. You just generate it using "make manifest", right
38       before releasing a module, and then delete it afterwards.
39
40       This is good because you never forget to add new files to your
41       "MANIFEST".  The only problems are that you always need to generate a
42       "MANIFEST.SKIP" file, and you need to add "MANIFEST" to your
43       clean_files, or delete it by hand. This module does these things for
44       you.
