parrot has this test prove t/codingstd/case_sensitive_files.t Checks that there are no files in the distribution that would conflict with other files on case-insensitive filesystems.
If we have a F<readme.pod> in the distro, and then we add a F<README.pod> in the same directory, that's a problem. The creator F<README.pod> might not notice, but this will cause problems for a Mac or Windows user who checks out the repo or unpacks a tarball. Get the files in the distro by using some of the existing MANIFEST modules. And then crosscheck them by m//i For directories just use a Find::File iterator. For git use something like this. It’s much faster `git ls-tree -r --name-only HEAD >MANIFEST.git` Reini Urban rur...@cpan.org > On Aug 27, 2015, at 10:40 AM, Shlomi Fish <shlo...@shlomifish.org> wrote: > Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2015 07:29:48 +0100 > From: Neil Bowers <neil.bow...@cogendo.com> > To: Shlomi Fish <shlo...@shlomifish.org> > Subject: Re: [Prior Art Hunt] Modules To Search for Directory Entries That > Vary > Only in Case (Uppercase/Lowercase) > > > Hi Shlomi, > >> I want to write a set of CPAN distributions to recursively search for >> directory entries that vary only in case (e.g: "hello.txt" and "Hello.txt") >> for better compatibility with case-insensitive systems and file systems (e.g: >> NTFS, HFS+), but I'm wondering if such beasts already exist.
