There's been a little bit of hubbub recently about people checking
things into the languages/ directories and breaking the MANIFEST.
I can setup the CVS repository to notify the user after a checkin where
something has gone awry. But, I'm low on tuits, so I need to farm out
a little of the work.
I need a script that meets the following specs:
Input (via command line)
1) file representing MANIFEST
2) file representing MANIFEST.SKIP
3) file representing list of all files found
Output (via stdout)
error message if manifest check fails
Restrictions:
The script cannot access any other files/filesystems/directory
listings besides the data in the files provided on the command
line.
I think the easiest to implement this is by subclassing
ExtUtils::Manifest, and overriding manifiles() and maybe one or two
other subroutines.
