filecheck

Finds files below the current directory that are not mentioned in the MANIFEST file. Consults MANIFEST.SKIP for files that shouldn't be included.

fullcheck

Does both manicheck and filecheck.

manicheck

Checks whether all files in current directory's MANIFEST file really exist.

manicopy (read, target, how)

Copies files to a target directory. Takes the following arguments:

read

Hash with keys that are the names of the files to be copied. Typically returned by maniread.

target

Target directory into which files are to be copied.

how

Can be used to specify a different method of "copying." Values are:

cp

Copy the files.

ln

Create hard links.

best

Link the files, but copy any symbolic link to make a tree with no symbolic links (the default).

manifind

Returns a hash reference whose keys are the files found below the current directory. The values are null strings, representing the MANIFEST comments that aren't there.

maniread ([file])

Reads the MANIFEST file specified in $file (the default is MANIFEST). Returns a hash reference whose keys are the filenames and whose values are the comments. Discards blank lines and lines starting with #.

mkmanifest

Writes the names of all files in and below the current directory to the file in the current directory named in the $ExtUtils::Manifest::MANIFEST variable. Skips files in MANIFEST.SKIP.

skipcheck

Lists files that were skipped because they were found in MANIFEST.SKIP.
