Carton...atpack(3pm)

💖 Carton::Doc::Fatpack — the manual page (section 3pm) 💖

okay bestie, gather round, we're reading the docs for Carton::Doc::Fatpack and honestly? it's giving "one job, big warning label" energy. let's get into it 🫶

---

✨ NAME ✨

Carton::Doc::Fatpack — fatpack the carton executable into vendor/bin 🎀

like, that's the whole thing. it squishes carton into one chunky boi and drops it in vendor/bin. iconic behavior tbh.

---

✨ SYNOPSIS ✨

  carton fatpack

one command. no flags. no arguments. no drama. she's lowkey minimalist 💅

---

✨ DESCRIPTION ✨

WARNING: bestie I need you to actually read this part, fr fr. this command is known to create an executable that is not sufficient to run standalone in some environments, especially when local::lib is enabled. so like… it might not work on its own in every setup 😭. it's a known thing. not a you problem.

so the recommended move instead: use the standard cpanm command to install the bundle that was created by the carton bundle command. that's the vibe. that's the path. see carton -h bundle for more details 👑

---

🌸 so what does carton fatpack actually do tho

it creates a fatpack executable of carton inside the vendor/bin directory ✨

and why do we care? because that lil executable can be used to bootstrap the deployment process — combined with:

• carton bundle
• carton install --cached

it's giving deployment-girlie main character energy 🦋. bundle it, fatpack it, cached-install it, ship it. periodt.

---

🌈 SEE ALSO ✨

• carton -h bundle (for the details on the bundle situation)

---

and that's the whole page, bestie!! short, sweet, and full of warnings 💀

this beauty came to you via perl v5.34.0, dated 2022-05-12, and she lives under the name Carton...atpack(3pm) in the User Contributed Perl Documentation section 🎀💖

mwah, go read the bundle docs before you fatpack, ily 🫶✨
