carton - Perl module dependency manager (aka Bundler for Perl)
SYNOPSIS
# On your development environment
> cat cpanfile
requires 'Plack', 0.9980;
requires 'Starman', 0.2000;
> carton install
> git add cpanfile carton.lock
> git commit -m "add Plack and Starman"
# Other developer's machine, or on a deployment box
> carton install
> carton exec -Ilib -- starman -p 8080 myapp.psgi
WARNING
This software is under heavy development and considered ALPHA quality till its version hits v1.0.0. Things might be broken, not all
features have been implemented, and APIs are likely to change. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED.
DESCRIPTION
carton is a command line tool to track the Perl module dependencies for your Perl application. The managed dependencies are tracked in a
carton.lock file, which is meant to be version controlled, and the lock file allows other developers of your application will have the
exact same versions of the modules.
TUTORIAL
Initializing the environment
carton will use the .carton directory for local configuration and the local directory to install modules into. You're recommended to
exclude these directories from the version control system.
> echo .carton/ >> .gitignore
> echo local/ >> .gitignore
> git add carton.lock
> git commit -m "Start using carton"
Tracking the dependencies
You can manage the dependencies of your application via cpanfile.
# cpanfile
requires 'Plack', 0.9980;
requires 'Starman', 0.2000;
And then you can install these dependencies via:
> carton install
The modules are installed into your local directory, and the dependencies tree and version information are analyzed and saved into
carton.lock in your directory.
Make sure you add carton.lock to your version controlled repository and commit changes as you update dependencies. This will ensure that
other developers on your app, as well as your deployment environment, use exactly the same versions of the modules you just installed.
> git add cpanfile carton.lock
> git commit -m "Added Plack and Starman"
Deploying your application
Once you've done installing all the dependencies, you can push your application directory to a remote machine (excluding local and .carton)
and run the following command:
> carton install
This will look at the carton.lock and install the exact same versions of the dependencies into local, and now your application is ready to
run.
Bundling modules
carton can bundle all the tarballs for your dependencies into a directory so that you can even install dependencies that are not available
on CPAN, such as internal distribution aka DarkPAN.
> carton bundle
will bundle these tarballs into local/cache directory, and
> carton install --cached
will install modules using this local cache. This way you can avoid a dependency on CPAN meta DB and search.cpan.org at a deploy time, or
you can have dependencies onto private CPAN modules aka DarkPAN.
