[Since ExtUtils-Manifest is now primarily maintained by Perl 5 Porters, I am moving this ticket here from https://rt.cpan.org/Ticket/Display.html?id=57507. -- jkeenan]

The default MANIFEST.SKIP includes rules like these:

    # Avoid version control files.
    \bRCS\b
    \bCVS\b
    \bSCCS\b

This erroneously matches input like:

    lib/Library/CVS.pm
    lib/Library/RCS.pm
    lib/Library/SCCS.pm

Those systems will never produce CVS.pm files, so just checking for \b
is an error.
