Bug#538005: perl-modules: ./Build manifest # doesn't work well for filenames with spaces due to bug in ExtUtils::Manifest

[Jozef Kutej]

Package: perl-modules
Version: 5.10.0-24
Severity: normal


The problem is with `Build.PL` and `./Build manifest` and with warnings when
`perl Build.PL`.

There is a bug in ExtUtils::Manifest that takes only portion of a line, until
space, when reading MANIFEST.

The consequence is that `perl Build.PL` warns that there are files missing and
`./Build manifest` is adding the files to MANIFEST over and over.

This seems to be fixed in ExtUtils::Manifest 1.52 (1.53?) and http://rt.cpan.org/Public/Bug/Display.html?id=34414
