Greets, Keeping perl/MANIFEST up-to-date is boring and pointless. We have to generate it on the fly when building the CPAN tarball anyway, because we have to pull in the contents of core/, clownfish/, etc.
The only reason we keep perl/MANIFEST around is because we can't stop `perl Build.PL` from complaining if the file isn't there. However, I just discovered a neat quirk: `perl Build.PL` only complains about missing files, not extra ones. Solution: clear out perl/MANIFEST so that it consists of only explanatory comments and stop maintaining it. Module::Build still complains about extra files when it you run either `./Build distcheck` or `./Build distclean` (which runs distcheck), but that matters less. For a long time now I've been running `./Build realclean` instead of distclean so I don't have to see the complaints; we can put a suggestion to that effect into the comments in our fake MANIFEST file.
