How to add custom modules to perl carton?

Question

I'm trying to use carton as deployment container. But I ran into a small problem. I don't know, how to install private modules.

Created a quick test module:

h2xs -AX Foo::Bar

tree Foo-Bar/
Foo-Bar/
├── Changes
├── lib
│   └── Foo
│       └── Bar.pm
├── Makefile.PL
├── MANIFEST
├── README
└── t
    └── Foo-Bar.t

Packaged it: tar cvfz Foo-Bar-0.01.tar.gz Foo-Bar/ Copied the package to vendor/cache directory.

ls vendor/cache/
Foo-Bar-0.01.tar.gz  Try-Tiny-0.18.tar.gz

cat cpanfile
requires 'Foo::Bar', '0.01';
requires 'Try::Tiny', '0.18';

carton install --cached
Installing modules using /home/donpedro/Garbage/Carton/cpanfile
! Couldn't find module or a distribution Foo::Bar (0.01)
Successfully installed Try-Tiny-0.18
! Installing the dependencies failed: Module 'Foo::Bar' is not installed
! Bailing out the installation for /home/donpedro/Garbage/Carton/.
1 distribution installed
Installing modules failed

Tried a Milla default module also(tutorial example, milla new Dist-Name), but no results. Documentation mentions that for DarkPan modules, just drop the module into the vendor/cache directory, which I'm trying to do. Official CPAN modules can be just dropped into the vendor/cache directory.

What to try next or how to solve my problem? :)

Edit: miyagawa and lejeunerenard in the carton IRC channel gave me this information: For this to work at the moment, one needs Carton 1.1 (current stable 1.0) and new cpanfile dev version. cpanfile has the new option -dist => '/path/to/Foo-Bar.tar.gz' argument for the requires method

As I'm too lazy to be early adopter, I will go with Carton for CPAN bundles and cpanm for private bundles.

Thanks miyagawa and lejeunerenard.

As of now(28.12) there is still no Carton version bump and git 1.1 branch is 3 months old. So things take a bit time. Pinto seems to be under active development at the moment.
