  8. cpanfile + cpanm • Simple • Yet powerful and flexible

    way to describe dependencies and version requirements • Version control cpanfile Saturday, November 30, 13

    complicated, etc. Saturday, November 30, 13
  11. • App-specific local environment • Fast and safe install with

    caches • Dep-tree analysis, including versions • Freezing module versions • Conservative updates • Easy Redeployment, Rollback • Single-file, VCS friendly Saturday, November 30, 13
  12. Local perl environment Using local::lib and cpanm -L Each app

    has an isolated local library path Saturday, November 30, 13

    if anything is missing/superfluous Saturday, November 30, 13
  14. Easy Redeployment Reinstall exactly the same set of modules on
