This module provides a simple method of testing that a MANIFEST matches the distribution.

It tests three things:
1 Everything in *MANIFEST* exists
2 Everything in the package is listed in *MANIFEST*, or subsequently matches a regular expression mask in *MANIFEST.SKIP*
3 Nothing exists in *MANIFEST* that also matches a mask in *MANIFEST.SKIP*, so as to avoid an unsatisfiable dependency conditions

If there is no *MANIFEST.SKIP* included in your distribution, this module will replicate the toolchain behaviour of using the default system-wide MANIFEST.SKIP file. To view the contents of this file, use the command:

$ perldoc -m ExtUtils::MANIFEST.SKIP
