jaldhar has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

I have problems getting a module I wrote to build properly under Windows. I use Module::Signature to sign the module via sign => 1 in a Build.PL that uses Module::Build. A tester using strawberry perl 5.10.0 on Windows XP is reporting this... 

./Build: blib\lib\Module\Starter\Plugin\CGIApp\templates\titanium
\Module.pm: cannot resolve L<Titanium> in paragraph 48.
  JALDHAR/Module-Starter-Plugin-CGIApp-0.07.tar.gz
  C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe ./Build -- OK
Running Build test

...which makes sense as Build.bat and the *.tmp files are indeed not in the MANIFEST. They are created during the build process on Windows only. Do I just add them to MANIFEST.SKIP? Are there any possible other files I should be adding there? Or should the problem be solved an entirely different way?

Re: Proper way to use Module::Signature under windows?

    I would take the default MANIFEST.SKIP from Module::Build and modify it slightly if I were you.

    Also, you may try to contact the CPAN tester in question directly (or ask in the chatterbox for volunteers) to help you test on the given platform, or simply release a new version of our module and wait for the test reports to come in.

    Update: By adding 

    \.tmp
^Build.bat$

    [download]
    to your MANIFEST.SKIP I figure you could resolve the issue. But I cannot, of course, properly sign your module and verify that all tests actually pass.
