About:
Carton is a Perl module dependency manager that simplifies managing application dependencies by tracking them in a 'cpanfile'. It can install the exact module versions specified in the file, ensuring consistent environments across development and production.

Key Features:

Manages dependencies via a 'cpanfile' (similar to Gemfile)
Installs specific module versions for reproducible builds
Supports bundling modules for deployment without a network connection

Use Cases:

Managing dependencies for Perl applications
Ensuring consistent module versions across different environments

Alternatives:

cpanm – cpanm installs single modules quickly, while Carton manages versioned dependency lists for entire applications.
Pinto – Pinto creates curated repositories of modules, whereas Carton focuses on client-side dependency resolution for individual projects.
