ExtUtils::Manifest Description

ExtUtils::Manifest is a Perl module that contains utilities to write and check a MANIFEST file. ExtUtils::Manifest is a Perl module that contains utilities to write and check a MANIFEST file.SYNOPSIS use ExtUtils::Manifest qw(...funcs to import...); mkmanifest(); my @missing_files = manicheck; my @skipped = skipcheck; my @extra_files = filecheck; my($missing, $extra) = fullcheck; my $found = manifind(); my $manifest = maniread(); manicopy($read,$target); maniadd({$file => $comment, ...});FunctionsExtUtils::Manifest exports no functions by default. The following are exported on requestmkmanifest mkmanifest();Writes all files in and below the current directory to your MANIFEST. It works similar to find . > MANIFESTAll files that match any regular expression in a file MANIFEST.SKIP (if it exists) are ignored.Any existing MANIFEST file will be saved as MANIFEST.bak. Lines from the old MANIFEST file is preserved, including any comments that are found in the existing MANIFEST file in the new one.manifind my $found = manifind();returns a hash reference. The keys of the hash are the files found below the current directory.manicheck my @missing_files = manicheck();checks if all the files within a MANIFEST in the current directory really do exist. If MANIFEST and the tree below the current directory are in sync it silently returns an empty list. Otherwise it returns a list of files which are listed in the MANIFEST but missing from the directory, and by default also outputs these names to STDERR.filecheck my @extra_files = filecheck();finds files below the current directory that are not mentioned in the MANIFEST file. An optional file MANIFEST.SKIP will be consulted. Any file matching a regular expression in such a file will not be reported as missing in the MANIFEST file. The list of any extraneous files found is returned, and by default also reported to STDERR.fullcheck my($missing, $extra) = fullcheck();does both a manicheck() and a filecheck(), returning then as two array refs.skipcheck my @skipped = skipcheck();lists all the files that are skipped due to your MANIFEST.SKIP file.maniread my $manifest = maniread(); my $manifest = maniread($manifest_file);reads a named MANIFEST file (defaults to MANIFEST in the current directory) and returns a HASH reference with files being the keys and comments being the values of the HASH. Blank lines and lines which start with # in the MANIFEST file are discarded.manicopy manicopy(%src, $dest_dir); manicopy(%src, $dest_dir, $how);Copies the files that are the keys in %src to the $dest_dir. %src is typically returned by the maniread() function. manicopy( maniread(), $dest_dir );This function is useful for producing a directory tree identical to the intended distribution tree.$how can be used to specify a different methods of "copying". Valid values are cp, which actually copies the files, ln which creates hard links, and best which mostly links the files but copies any symbolic link to make a tree without any symbolic link. cp is the default.maniadd maniadd({ $file => $comment, ...});Adds an entry to an existing MANIFEST unless its already there.$file will be normalized (ie. Unixified). UNIMPLEMENTED Requirements: · Perl
