I like this script (Score:1)
I have always created my CPAN tarballs by hand, so I was delighted to try your script and I like it (apart from the 'preexsting' typo ;).
I suppose you might replace:
system(" chmod a+r $new && mv $new ~/public_html/ ");
with something like:
chmod(0644, $new) or die "chmod '$new' failed: $!";
rename($new, "$ENV{HOME}/public_html/$new") or die "rename '$new' failed: $!";
One annoyance I noticed is that it seems to put MANIFEST.bak and Makefile.old into the tarball. Also, is it correct practice to

Maybe I should add "^dist" and/or "^disttest" to that?
I like your (and everyone's) suggestions. I'll work them in.

TorgoX, I think you meant MANIFEST.SKIP and not MAKEFILE.SKIP. I have got it working nicely now, though I found the MANIFEST.SKIP file to be tempermental in the extreme. This is my MANIFEST.SKIP:
^MANIFEST\.
^Makefile$
\.old$
^blib/
For a while, I was plagued by the "double distribution" problem mentioned by Matts, but I deleted my MANIFEST file and have not seen this problem since (I am running Perl 5.6.1).
