ExtUtils::MakeMaker : how to ignore files and not add themby bliako (Monsignor) |

bliako has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question: Dear Monks, I am using this very simple Makefile.PL (ExtUtils::MakeMaker):
The problem is that it adds a lot of files in the MANIFEST which are either transient (e.g. .lock files - my editor creates a lock file during editing so I end up with A.pm.lock when editing A.pm) or plain rubbish (e.g. *.log or data/). And if these files are later deleted, I need to remake the Makefile. I have tried adding these file extensions and directories in a ignore.txt file but I still get the same behaviour. I could not see anything relevant in the documentation but I guess is something simple. Does anyone know? thanks, bliako ps. EDIT stupidly I omitted the relevant version information: ExtUtils/MakeMaker.pm 7.44 and perl v.5.28.2 in linux fedora 30 with latest updates EDIT2: see Re: Making ExtUtils::MakeMaker ignore .swp files for a solution
