NAME¶
Carton::Doc::Update - Update the dependencies
SYNOPSIS¶
carton update [module]
DESCRIPTION¶
Update the dependencies version for your application.
Carton is designed to update your dependency in a conservative way, meaning that
it doesn't update modules that aren't explicitly required to.
"carton update" is a command to explicitly update one or all of
modules in your cpanfile to the latest available that satisfies the
requirements in cpanfile.
EXAMPLE¶
Suppose you have a cpanfile with:
requires 'DBI', '1.600';
requires 'Plack', '== 1.0011';
and then run "carton install" to get DBI 1.610 (the latest at that
time) and Plack 1.0011 (as specified in the requirement).
A few weeks later, DBI and Plack have been updated a couple of times. Running
"carton install"
won't update the versions, because the
installed versions satisfy the requirements in "cpanfile".
Running "carton update" will update DBI to the latest version, say
1.611, because the version still satisfies the requirement. However, it won't
update Plack's version, since whatever latest version on CPAN will not satisfy
the Plack's requirement "== 1.0011" because it wants an exact
version.
