  Description     : Parse and examine a Perl distribution MANIFEST file

Module::Manifest is a simple utility module created originally for use
in Module::Inspector.

It allows you to load the MANIFEST file that comes in a Perl
distribution tarball, examine the contents, and perform some simple
tasks.

Granted, the functionality needed to do this is quite simple, but the
Perl distribution MANIFEST specification contains a couple of little
idiosyncracies, such as line comments and space-seperated inline
comments.

The use of this module means that any little nigglies are dealt with
behind the scenes, and you can concentrate the main task at hand.


This package is a dependency of libmodule-inspector-perl and will be
maintained by the Debian Perl Group.
