You can install this using in the usual Perl fashion: perl Makefile.PL make make test make install The documentation is in the module file. Once you install the file, you can read it with perldoc. perldoc Test::Manifest If you want to read it before you install it, you can use perldoc directly on the module file. perldoc lib/Manifest.pm This module is also in Github http://github.com/briandfoy/Test-Manifest/tree/master Enjoy, brian d foy, bdfoy@cpan.org
