Module::cpanfile is a tool to handle cpanfile format to load application specific dependencies, not just for cpan distributions.

`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.
