NAME

       Test::CheckManifest - Check if your Manifest matches your distro

VERSION

       version 1.25

SYNOPSIS

	 use Test::CheckManifest;
	 ok_manifest();

DESCRIPTION

       "Test::CheckManifest"

   EXPORT
       There is only one method exported: "ok_manifest"

METHODS

   ok_manifest	 [{exclude => $arref}][$msg]
       checks whether the Manifest file matches the distro or not. To match a distro the Manifest has to name all files that come along with the
       distribution.

       To check the Manifest file, this module searches for a file named "MANIFEST".

       To exclude some directories from this test, you can specify these dirs in the hashref.

	 ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test/']});

       is ok if the files in "/path/to/your/dist/var/test/" are not named in the "MANIFEST" file. That means that the paths in the exclude array
       must be "pseudo-absolute" (absolute to your distribution).

       To use a "filter" you can use the key "filter"

	 ok_manifest({filter => [qr/.svn/]});

       With that you can exclude all files with an '.svn' in the filename or in the path from the test.

       These files would be excluded (as examples):

       o   /dist/var/.svn/test

       o   /dist/lib/test.svn

       You can also combine "filter" and "exclude" with 'and' or 'or' default is 'or':

	 ok_manifest({exclude => ['/var/test'],
		      filter  => [qr/.svn/],
		      bool    => 'and'});

       These files have to be named in the "MANIFEST":

       o   /var/foo/.svn/any.file

       o   /dist/t/file.svn

       o   /var/test/test.txt

       These files not:

       o   /var/test/.svn/*

       o   /var/test/file.svn

EXCLUDING FILES

       Beside "filter" and "exclude" there is another way to exclude files: "MANIFEST.SKIP". This is a file with filenames that should be
       excluded:

	 t/my_very_own.t
	 file_to.skip

ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

       Great thanks to Christopher H. Laco, who did a lot of testing stuff for me and he reported some bugs to RT.
