./MANIFEST.SKIP - many authors use this to list the files they have in their development directory which they don't want to package. Most distribution building processes will honour this list. They should really include MANIFEST.SKIP in their MANIFEST.SKIP so that it doesn't get distributed!
I disagree with that point. Not having/knowing the MANIFEST.SKIP can make it highly tedious to rebuild a distribution. I think that the .gitignore and MANIFEST.SKIP and other such ephemeral parts of distribution building should be distributed so that other people can easily rebuild a distribution file if they are running their own inhouse CPAN mirror for example.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
