ExtUtils::Manifest v1.46 has a bug, or undesirable behavior
when manicopy is used. If a file does not exist, execution
is aborted, vs just printing a warning.
It appears that cp_if_diff() was supposed to be coded
to only warn about non-existent file do to the initial
-f $from check. But all that is printed is a warning from
the check, and the following open() call fails.
As it is coded, the -f $from is basically an expensive noop.
What follows is a patch that if -f $from fails, a warning
is printed, and the routine returns without aborting
execution.
NOTE: All this came about due to the metafile target for
MakeMaker is dependent on create_distdir (which is something
added in later releases). The problem is if META.yml does
not exist (since the developer knows that MakeMaker will
do it automatically), metafile target always fails due
to create_distdir failing since META.yml is in the MANIFEST
which metafile target is supposed to create.
