Stopping 'make manifest' can leave you with a partially written MANIFEST file. Fortunately, you can restore from MANIFEST.bak. What should be done is a MANIFEST.new written and then the old MANIFEST copied to MANIFEST.bak and then MANIFEST.new renamed MANIFEST.

[Do we still want to make this change?

Thank you very much.

Since maintenance of ExtUtils-Manifest has been taken over by the Perl Toolchain Gang, we no longer need to keep this ticket open in rt.perl.org.
