> and keeping your modules (say) in a cpanfile so you can reinstall them quickly whenever you move to a new version. This is the first time I've heard the term cpanfile, so I read this page: https://metacpan.org/dist/Module-CPANfile/view/lib/cpanfile.pod and it seems I could just maintain this file by having a requires $module line for each module I want to maintain. Then when a new version of perl is installed, I can just create a new directory, copy the cpanfile, and then run cpanm to reinstall all modules in that local directory using the new version of perl. Is that correct? If I do that, is a record created anywhere in that directory indicating what version of perl was used to do the installation, or do I need to maintain that myself via directory naming conventions and/or README files? Also does a new directory need to be created for each version of perl no matter how minor the update? For example, if I am currently using 5.36 and a 5.36.1 is released, do I need to reinstall all modules using 5.36.1 or can I wait for a larger update, e.g. 5.37?
