Only if that module doesn't have its own MANIFEST.SKIP.
Ok
Not Test::More's MANIFEST.SKIP. The system's default MANIFEST.SKIP.
ExtUtils::MANIFEST.SKIP.
Run perldoc -m ExtUtils::MANIFEST.SKIP and see if it looks like either
of
the urls above.

Perhaps you've got a damaged default MANIFEST.SKIP. Check what
perldoc -m ExtUtils::MANIFEST.SKIP looks like. It should
look like this.
http://search.cpan.org/src/MSCHWERN/ExtUtils-MakeMaker-6.24/lib/ExtUtils/MAN
IFEST.SKIP
Not like this.

Should the t/fork.t tests should still be skipped on Win32? Win32 Perl

been able to fork since at least
Not quite. I'm saying: Unless you need fork you're probably
better off using a perl without PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS [on Win32,
obviously]. There's no problem with having ithreads enabled;
it's PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS that requires perl's malloc to be disabled.
Got it. Ok, sorry to be so thick.
Your patch needs to account for PERL_IMPLICIT_SYS too like
t/op/fork.t does, as Schwern just pointed out.
Ok, ill look into that test to see how it works.
I should have mentioned that rather than just ithreads in my mail.
PERL_IMPLCIT_SYS is, in fact, also the reason that I don't build
31028 perl -i fails on Win32 unless a backup string is
provided for -i option
Should that really be a bug? You can't delete open files on Win32 so what is
perl supposed to do?
