curious, I cannot reproduce this here (Debian Lenny):
~/RT-Extension-MandatorySubject-0.03$ perl Makefile.PL

Looks good
Writing Makefile for RT::Extension::MandatorySubject
And indeed, when you get RT-Extension-MandatorySubject-0.03.tar.gz from
search.cpan.org and you untar it, all files indicated in MANIFEST are
here.
Try to download the tar.gz again maybe and make sure you are using gnu
tar.
