  Description     : format for describing CPAN dependencies of Perl applications

`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.
