Not exactly a bug, but I'm logging it here so that it doesn't get lost. The version of Test-Simple in bleadperl currently excludes 00compile.t on the basis that it requires the MANIFEST file in order to work, but the MANIFEST file would have to be edited because 00compile.t (and other files) are excluded from the core. We don't want edited versions of files from dual-lived modules in the core, so it was simplest to remove it: http://perl5.git.perl.org/perl.git/commit/3a24619 However, Rafael also had the suggestion of modifying 00compile.t so that the MANIFEST reading is based on PERL_CORE, in which case the test could then be included in the core: http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/perl5-porters/2009-10/msg00611.html Feel free to close this ticket if you don't think it is worth the bother.

Thanks for bringing it up. One of the major points of moving dual-life modules into the cpan/ directory was to minimize the work of keeping them in synch. If p5p wants to continue to mess with the contents by removing "unnecessary" files, they can clean up the mess. The simple solution is to just leave everything in place, including the MANIFEST.
