It is similar to Test::CheckManifest, but differs in that it has native support for the MANIFEST.SKIP file. . It tests three things: . 1. Everything in MANIFEST exists 2. Everything in the package is listed in MANIFEST, or subsequently matches a regular expression mask in MANIFEST.SKIP 3. Nothing exists in MANIFEST that also matches a mask in MANIFEST.SKIP, which is an unsatisfiable condition . Much of the functionality is provided by Module::Manifest, so developers wishing to manipulate MANIFEST files in a similar way are encouraged to look at that distribution.
