[Module-build-general] Re: Module::Builder 0.11

[Ken W. <ke...@ma...>]

Hi Dean,

Actually, it should really just be a zero-length file.  If you 
create it with zero-length, do the tests still succeed?

I think for the time being, I'll just put the single line 
"MANIFEST" in the file.  Eventually I'll be able to get rid of 
that file altogether, I think, which will be even better.

Thanks for the report.
