34. cpanfile + cpanm
    • Simple
    • Yet powerful and flexible way to describe
    dependencies and version requirements
    • Version control cpanfile
    Saturday, November 30, 13
    

    View Slide

35. caveats
    • Locking each dependency with specific
    version is tedious work
    • Can only lock direct dependencies
    • MetaCPAN as SPOF
    • No easy/reliable way to rollback
