DESCRIPTION
cpanfile describes CPAN dependencies required to execute associated Perl code.
Place the cpanfile in the root of the directory containing the associated code. For instance, in a Catalyst application, place the cpanfile in the same directory as myapp.conf.
Tools supporting cpanfile format (e.g. cpanm and carton) will automatically detect the file and install dependencies for the code to run.
