DESCRIPTION

       "cpan-audit" is a command line application that checks the modules or distributions for known
       vulnerabilities. It is using its internal database that is automatically generated from a hand-picked
       database <https://github.com/vti/cpan-security-advisory>.

       "cpan-audit" does not connect to anything, that is why it is important to keep it up to date. Every
       update of the internal database is released as a new version.

       "cpan-audit" can automatically detect dependencies from the following sources:

       "Carton"
           Parses "cpanfile.snapshot" file and checks the distribution versions.

       "cpanfile"
           Parses "cpanfile" taking into account the required versions.

       It is assumed that if the required version of the module is less than a version of a release with a known
       vulnerability fix, then the module is considered affected.
