# [NAME](#NAME)

App::cpm - a fast CPAN module installer

# [SYNOPSIS](#SYNOPSIS)

```
  > cpm install Module
```

# [DESCRIPTION](#DESCRIPTION)

cpm is a fast CPAN module installer.

cpm prepares dependencies first and performs final installation separately. By default, it installs the requested distributions and their runtime dependency closure.

This makes installs more stable and more predictable, especially for larger dependency graphs and parallel work.

For tutorial, check out App::cpm::Tutorial.

# [ARTIFACT ATTESTATIONS](#ARTIFACT_ATTESTATIONS)

GitHub Artifact Attestations are generated for the self-contained cpm and release tarballs uploaded to CPAN. Verification establishes the provenance of the downloaded artifact; it does not verify CPAN distributions subsequently installed with cpm.

See the repository's attestations:
