Subject:

maniadd fails unnessarily

I am using MM6.15 with metafiles, and a readonly MANIFEST which has META.yml already added. I get error message "Could not open MANIFEST", when it is not necessary to open MANIFEST. C<maniadd> should only open MANIFEST if it finds a file that needs adding. The attached patch does this. It would have been neater to use the $open variable as the file handle but it looks like MM is supposed to work under 5.005_03 and I don't think C<my $open; open $open, '>>MANIFEST'> worked in 5.005.
