Looks like you need to add `^MANIFEST\.` to the contents of MANIFEST.SKIP. 🦛	[reply] [d/l]

It looks like `distcheck` isn't honouring the `MANIFEST.SKIP` file. Let `./Build test` be enough. The `t/manifest.t` tests check the `MANIFEST` anyway, and it appears it does so properly. Just add `MANIFEST.SKIP` to `MANIFEST` as hippo said, or do a `./Build manifest`.	[reply] [d/l] [select]

I misread the code when I wrote the below. Now, I'm unsure why `MANIFEST.SKIP` isn't being used. Nonetheless, my above post stands. `Module::Build::distcheck()` in a round about way has this line: `$self->_check_manifest_skip unless $self->invoked_action eq 'distclean';`. That means the `MANIFEST.SKIP` file is not being used when the `distcheck` command is run. Add `MANIFEST` to the `MANIFEST.SKIP` as hippo suggested, and just let `./Build test` be enough... it verifies whether `MANIFEST` is up-to-date with the `t/manifest.t` file anyway.
